The Gunners manager has made a ruthless decision.
international did little wrong during the opening four games of the new season, but was left to lick his wounds on the substitutes’ bench last weekend as he made way for summer signing David Raya.
The former Brentford shot stopper didn’t put a foot wrong in a rare 1-0 win at Goodison Park over Everton and kept another clean sheet in Wednesday’s 4-0 victory over PSV Eindhoven that marked Arsenal’s first Champions League game in six years. Arteta insists he is yet to make a decision on who will keep goal in Sunday’s north London derby against Spurs but maintains Ramsdale’s attitude has been exemplary in light of a decision his manager took no enjoyment from making.
‘I understand it, and it’s very difficult with every player, and I suffer and care about every player who is not playing,’ said Arteta at his pre-match press conference. ‘But this is the competition and it is my job to make decisions in the best possible way for the team.‘He’s been very supportive, he’s been really good around the place and that’s what I expect from every single player, because when you are on the field there is someone else who is not.
‘Comfortable? Maybe I look [it], but in your tummy when you have players sitting, or you have to announce the line-up, it’s one of the hardest things, because players feel happy and valued when they play.
