Four Arsenal Players Who Deserve A Rest For League Cup Clash Against Sheffield Wednesday

The word ‘injury’ is often enough to strike fear into the minds of the Arsenal side, much like it’s fans. It  has sent the Gunners into disarray, very often over the past 3-4 seasons when they were treading the path rather effortlessly indeed. Injuries after injuries, that too to crucial players leave Arsenal in shambles, affecting their form, catching them off guard and distracting them from their main objective. And currently, as the Gunners hold onto the second spot after a 2-1 win over Everton, a low priority League Cup clash at Sheffield Wednesday’s Hillsborough Stadium awaits them.

There was a brief period when fans felt that Arsenal may be engulfed by such a period again after both Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck were deemed injured, leaving the Gunners short of attacking options to get them goals.

And to steer clear of another such disaster, which seems to always grab hold of Arsenal. The Gunners must rest the following players:

Hector Bellerin

The 20-year old who has registered his name as ‘Flash’ in the minds of the Gooners all around the world, has been among the standout performers for Arsene Wenger’s side, who ousted Bayern Munich in midweek.

He’s made 9 appearances this season, in the Premier League to be particular and has made two Champions League starts, along with 3 FA Cup appearances. And although he might be playing week in and week out, without showing signs of exhaustion but for a youngster such as him, a break is always needed.

Mathieu Debuchy is back fit and giving him a go against Sheffield Wednesday would be a wise move.
