Arsenal Manager Mikel Arteta at Risk of Missing Crucial Premier League Finale

Arsenal‘s bid for the Premier League title has encountered a potential setback as manager Mikel Arteta faces the prospect of missing the crucial season finale against Everton.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta On The Verge of Suspension

With just two games remaining in the campaign, the Gunners find themselves in a tense battle with Manchester City as they are perched by one point at the top of the table.

However, City’s game in hand means Arsenal must rely on their rivals slipping up in their remaining fixtures against Fulham, Tottenham, or West Ham.

Arteta’s absence from the sidelines could prove detrimental for Arsenal, especially in a match that could decide the fate of the league title.

The animated Spaniard known for his passionate touchline presence has accumulated five yellow cards this season. Thus, leaving him on the brink of a one-game suspension.

Should Arteta receive another booking in the upcoming clash against Manchester United, he will be forced to watch from the stands during the pivotal Everton encounter.

The Impact of Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta Missing Arsenal Game

The impact of Arteta’s absence was felt earlier in the season when he was suspended for a match against Aston Villa, resulting in a 1-0 defeat for the Gunners.

Despite his disciplinary record, Arteta remains unapologetic, attributing his yellow cards to his passionate nature. Reflecting on his previous suspension, Arteta remarked, “It was just pure emotion. So if that’s a yellow. Okay, it’s a yellow.”

With Arsenal’s title hopes hanging in the balance, Arteta’s assistant, Albert Stuivenberg, could be tasked with leading the team in the event of the manager’s suspension.

As the Gunners prepare for a crucial showdown with Manchester United, all eyes will be on Arteta’s composure on the touchline, knowing that any lapse in discipline could have significant ramifications for Arsenal’s title aspirations.
