Liverpool’s manager has advised Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, to consider benching a player ahead of a potential match against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
ESPN analyst Stuart Robson has also weighed in on the matter, suggesting that Jorginho may not be the best choice to start against Real Madrid, especially with Jude Bellingham in their lineup.
Jorginho has been a standout performer for Arsenal recently, demonstrating his skills on the ball and utilizing his experience to benefit the team.
However, Robson questions whether starting Jorginho would be the wisest decision against tough opponents like Real Madrid, particularly given Bellingham’s presence.
While Arsenal has shown commendable form in the Premier League lately, they faced a setback in the Champions League against Porto.
As they prepare for the second leg against Porto, Arteta will be eager to turn things around.
Looking ahead, if Arsenal advances to the next round of the Champions League, they may face Real Madrid.
Robson remains hopeful about Arsenal’s chances against the Spanish giants but points out the potential challenge Jorginho could face against Bellingham, especially in midfield.
Discussing the hypothetical matchup, Robson stressed the importance of strategic decisions, stating, “Arteta would need to make a crucial decision; playing Jorginho against Bellingham might not be the most effective approach.”
