Hector Bellerin received the first red card of his career this weekend as reported by Arsenal.
The full-back is on loan at Real Betis and he was given a straight red card after being adjudged to have stopped a clear goal-scoring opportunity in Betis’ 3-0 win against Elche.
Lucas Torreira continues his fine season and played 90 minutes for Fiorentina in their 4-3 victory over AC Milan. That win ended Milan’s unbeaten start to the season.
William Saliba and Matteo Guendouzi both started for Marseille in their game against Lyon this weekend, but the match was abandoned almost immediately after kickoff.
Daniel Ballard and Dinos Mavropanos played the entire matches for Millwall (vs Middlesbrough) and Stuttgart (vs Borussia Dortmund), respectively.
Reiss Nelson came on as a 67th-minute substitute for Feyenoord in their 4-0 win over PEC Zwolle.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Arsenal would be delighted with the form of the likes of Torreira and Saliba.
The former will probably fetch the Gunners a good transfer fee by leaving permanently in the summer, while the latter would likely become a key member of the Arsenal squad at the Emirates next season.
The likes of Bellerin and Mavropanos are also likely to leave, but Nelson might still have a future at the club.
Torriera wont command a good fee, Saliba and Gouendouzi dont want to come back, they both want out. All are happier away from Arsenal.
Why are we even contemplating selling Torriera when we are in dire need of a defensive midfielder, wouldn’t Torreira be a better option to partner Partey than either Lonkonga or Niles?
