Mikel Arteta said he can ‘always count on’ Myles Lewis-Skelly’ after Thomas Tuchel warned that his future England spot is in jeopardy if he doesn’t play more.
Lewis-Skelly scored on his debut in Tuchel’s first game in charge, the 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Albania at Wembley in March.
But after a breakout campaign last term, the left back has failed to start any of Arsenal’s Premier League games so far this season, with Riccardo Calafiori preferred.
Lewis-Skelly’s only starts of the season have come against Port Vale in the Carabao Cup and in Wednesday’s 2-0 Champions League win over Olympiacos.
