Breaking: Arsenal remove midfield superstar from their Champions League squad

Share

Premier League giants Arsenal have chosen to omit Krystian Bielik from their Champions League squad for the 2015/16 season. Arsene Wenger’s side has now gone ahead and submitted an official list of players they will use in the group stages of Europe’s top competition, with summer signings Petr Čech and Jeff Reine-Adélaïde both included.

However, 17-year-old defensive superstar Krystian Bielik who has now been at the club for nearly six months was not included, which might have surprised quite a few. After being bought for a price of £2.7m from Legia Warsaw during the January transfer window, Bielik was not considered good enough to play in Europe.

When the youngster was signed, the Frenchman had suggested that the Polish defensive midfielder would be involved with the first team this season though his chances have been quite slim.

Arsenal Champions League squad:

Goalkeepers: Petr Cech, David Ospina, Matt Macey, Deyan Iliev

Defenders: Mathieu Debuchy, Kieran Gibbs, Per Mertesacker, Gabriel, Laurent Koscielny, Nacho Monreal, Calum Chambers, Hector Bellerin, Tafari Moore, Stefan O’Connor

Midfielders: Tomas Rosicky, Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey, Santi Cazorla, Mathieu Flamini, Francis Coquelin, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Glen Kamara

Forwards: Joel Campbell, Olivier Giroud, Alexis Sanchez, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Danny Welbeck, Theo Walcott, Alex Iwobi, Chris Willock
