'We have to make big decisions' - Arteta unsure of Luiz's Arsenal future

Mikel Arteta admits he is unsure whether David Luiz will play for Arsenal again - but is adamant he still has total belief in the under-fire defender.

Luiz was heavily criticised after Wednesday night’s 3-0 defeat at Manchester City for a 25-minute substitute appearance which saw him give away a goal, concede a penalty and get sent off.

He will now serve a two-match ban and, with his contract due to expire on June 30, he will not be able to feature again for the Gunners this season unless he signs a short-term extension before the June 23 deadline.
