Arsenal Manager Mikel Areta said that Myles Lewis-Skelly was replaced after 35 minutes against PSV on Tuesday because the “liability” of the 18-year-old, who received a red card, was “pretty clear”.
Lewis-Skelly started on the left back in Eindhoven and was lucky enough to avoid a second yellow card by the referee Jesus Gil Manzano when he brought Richard Ledezma deep in the Arsenal half.
“I didn’t want to take any risks and manage the game for so long, especially if the competition is important,” said Areta about the 7-1 round of 16 victory in the first legin which Lewis Skelly was replaced by Riccardo Calafiori.
“It was pretty clear that we had liability there with the yellow card and the next (foul). It is certainly a lesson to learn for him. We will support him and help him.
“The line is very thin in sports and he has to understand it. He is very intelligent and extremely demanding. He is a perfectionist and he is here to learn. “
Arsenal fans love Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri ❤️
