Arsenal Manager Arteta Urges Jesus, Martinelli to Shine Amid Starting Limitations

Posted : 10 May 2024

Mikel Arteta has emphasized the importance of Arsenal forwards Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli proving their worth on the field amidst limited starting opportunities, with Arteta favoring other attackers like Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, and Bukayo Saka in recent matches. Addressing concerns about the duo's frustration over their roles, Arteta acknowledged the natural desire of players to feature more but stressed the significance of making an impact whenever they get the chance to play.

 

Jesus, in particular, has faced speculation about his future due to persistent knee issues since his surgery following the 2022 World Cup. Arteta clarified that injuries have disrupted Jesus's momentum this season but reiterated the club's commitment to him, emphasizing his past contributions and the need for him to reclaim his spot through performance.

 

With Arsenal reportedly seeking a new striker following their Champions League exit, competition for places intensifies, putting additional pressure on Jesus and Martinelli to seize their opportunities. Despite their limited game time, Jesus has notched four Premier League goals and five assists, while Martinelli has contributed six goals and four assists, underscoring their potential impact.

 

Arteta acknowledged the ruthlessness required in managerial decisions at the top level of football, emphasizing the professional aspect and the necessity to make pragmatic choices for the team's benefit. As Arsenal prepares for a crucial clash against Manchester United, Arteta stressed the significance of securing a victory at Old Trafford as they aim to maintain their position at the top of the Premier League table, highlighting the importance of resilience and determination in pursuit of their title ambitions.
