Arsenal fans think star player won’t get back into their team after win over Ipswich

Arsenal fans are convinced that one player won't get back into their team after their 1-0 win over Ipswich at the Emirates Stadium.

The Gunners moved up to second place with the win after Chelsea lost 2-1 at home to Fulham on Boxing Day.

Kai Havertz gave Arsenal a first half lead by converting a low cross from Leandro Trossard.

That strike meant it was goals in back-to-back games for the German after he netted in the 5-1 win over Crystal Palace before Christmas.

Mikel Arteta's side will hope they have hit form at the right time as they aim to keep the pressure on league leaders Liverpool, who are now six points clear of the Gunners with a game in hand.

Arsenal's defensive injury issues are also beginning to subside, with the likes of Gabriel Magalhaes and Jurrien Timber returning in recent weeks and Oleksandr Zinchenko making his return to training.

One player who has taken his chance with aplomb is Myles Lewis-Skelly, who has started four of the Gunners' last five matches in all competitions.

Though primarily a central midfielder, the 18-year-old has filled in at left-back and produced some exceptional performances after Arsenal supporters called for him to be given an opportunity.

He capped off his display against Ipswich by winning a free kick in his own penalty area in the final minute of stoppage time as the Tractor Boys searched for an equaliser.

And he has performed so well that fans think Riccardo Calafiori - who is also recovering from injury - should not automatically get back into the starting XI when he is fully fit.

One fan wrote: "On a positive note, MLS is a phenom. Calafiori does not get back into the team."

Another said: "Signed Calafiori just to unearth a gem in Lewis-Skelly."

A third wrote: "I will pick Lewis-Skelly over Calafiori."

A fourth stated: "Lewis-Skelly is ready to play against men week in week out. I know it's not going to happen having the big players back from injury but that boy is ready and good enough."
