Lazar Markovic's four -
game suspension means Jordon Ibe will get to showcase his potential again on the flank, while Daniel Sturridge should continue his return by starting in attack.
Not exact matches
And the injury to Jack Wilshere
meant that the Englishman could not return after missing the last
game due to a
suspension.
One reason is that the Gunners will have Aaron Ramsey back in the squad and his
suspension for the Besiktas
game means that the Welshman will be a bit fresher as well as carrying more of a goal threat.
I can't see Dennis Dixon, who also played well at the Meadowlands, beating out Leftwich for the Sept. 12 opener against Atlanta, but that doesn't
mean Leftwich will play all four or six
games Ben Roethlisberger misses while serving his
suspension.
Ans with Champions League and Premier League
games coming thick and fast, I can think of another reason for Arsenal to play Wilshere in a more forward role, because he already has three BPL yellow cards so two more would
mean a
suspension and he is more likely to pick them up playing deeper.
Consistency is the key for Arsenal which
means you have to put out consistent teams, barring injury or
suspension, use the right tactics and methods for the
game and with that team to maintain that consistency and have it ingrained into the team for when they next play, doesn't matter if it's against Newcastle or Man U, strong team, right tactics will win the day.
Pogba's direct red card
means that he will have a
suspension of three
games, which
means that he will miss the
game of the season against domestic rivals Manchester City.
Laurent Koscielny will serve the final
game of his
suspension this weekend,
meaning Arsenal will soon get back to having their first - choice defence at Wenger's disposal.
