Ainsley Maitland-Niles 'axed by Mikel Arteta for failing to meet Arsenal's high standards after turning up late to training several times'

Ainsley Maitland-Niles has become the latest Arsenal star to feel the wrath of boss Mikel Arteta.

The right back has fallen out of favour after turning up late for training several times, according to The Athletic.

It follows midfielder Matteo Guendouzi being axed amid concerns over his attitude and body language during a winter training camp.

Maitland-Niles impressed in the New Year’s Day win over Manchester United but since then has started just one game in the Premier League and featured as a substitute in the FA Cup and Europa League.
