“Train more” Arteta says benchwarmers have no excuse and must take their chances

Arsenal have a squad packed with quality, with several players on the bench capable of starting for many top teams across Europe. Mikel Merino, Martin Zubimendi and Viktor Gyokeres are among the players who have not always enjoyed as much playing time as they might expect, highlighting the depth available to Mikel Arteta.

The Gunners have established themselves among the leading clubs on the continent in recent seasons and continue to work hard to keep their squad competitive.

However, having so many talented players creates a challenge for Arteta, who must select just 11 starters for each match while ensuring the rest remain prepared to contribute when called upon.
