Mikel Arteta must drop two Arsenal stars against Inter Milan | OneFootball

Arsenal suffered their second Premier League defeat of the season with a 1-0 loss to Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Saturday.

Alexander Isak’s headed goal in the 12th minute was enough to seal the victory for the Magpies.

The Gunners had a poor outing in the final third, with just one shot on target from ten attempts.

Mikel Arteta’s side are now seven points behind Liverpool, and their title pursuit has taken a huge hit.

Arsenal can’t ponder over the result, with another difficult away trip to Inter Milan on the agenda.

The Gunners visit the San Siro for Wednesday’s Champions League clash, and manager Mikel Arteta has some tough decisions to make.

He must consider dropping Leandro Trossard, who has struggled in the number 10 position and was dreadful at Newcastle.

Gabriel Martinelli was also poor. The Brazilian won two out of eight duels while losing possession 11 times in 61 minutes.

Arteta must drop the duo when the Gunners face Inter.

Ethan Nwaneri deserves to get the nod in the number 10 role after a lively outing off the bench.

There is an outside chance that Martin Odegaard could be fit after his ankle injury, but he is unlikely to start.

Gabriel Jesus has started regularly in Europe and could be a straightforward replacement for Martinelli.
