Arsenal manager Arteta denies doubts over Zinchenko

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta heaped praise on his Ukrainian left back this week.

Oleksandr Zinchenko may not have been a regular all season, but he is a favourite of Arteta.

The Gunners manager is hoping that Zinchenko can help his team as they rotate players during the title run-in.

He stated to reporters: “We love Alex, he's given us so much, he's given us a lot and he's up there with different qualities.

“He has an unbelievable courage to play football given the circumstances, and as well as the demands. Stay with our players and support them because, for sure, they're going to perform better."

Asked about Zinchenko's future, he added: “The decision is to be focused on the Champions League quarter-finals tomorrow."
