Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta explains why he dropped Aaron Ramsdale for David Raya

EXPRESS

…Explaining his decision, Arteta said he was keen to give Raya minutes ahead of a busy period. He told Sky Sports: “I think I mentioned that we wanted to build a squad with two players with quality in each position, with different characteristics.

“We’ve got that now and to maximise that they have to play games. We have a lot of games coming up and it’s the same with other players that we have rotated, and we will give a lot of game time in the next few games.”

The news will come as a blow to Ramsdale who started for England in their friendly win over Scotland on Tuesday. He only kept one clean sheet in the first four league games of the season but has not made any high-profile mistakes.
