Written by David Raya missed the last training session that was held by the Arsenal players on Saturday ahead of the Sunday clash against Manchester City. This made many Arsenal fans to get worried over what may transpire in that game without David Raya in between the sticks.
David Raya has been the disputable number one goalkeeper for Arsenal since last season and he has really proven that he is the right man for the job. He has always stepped up even when the defence sometimes look leaky with either Gabriel Magalhaes of William Saliba out.
The Arsenal fans are worried about this because they need a win against their arch rivals. They also believe in David Raya because they know his potential and his quest to always do his best and keep a clean sheet so that he can once again defend his award as the Golden Glove award winner and win it for the second consecutive time.
The Arsenal fans are also worried because, if at all David Raya is injured, then it means that Neto will take the mantle and deputize him. The fans are so much worried about Neto after watching how he performed in the Champions League against Girona.
They feel that, he may not be the best goalkeeper for a game of this high caliber. Manchester City has very offensive players and lethal forward players. Neto cannot play the way he did against Girona and fail to be punished several times by the Manchester City attackers.
Manchester City has very lethal forward minded players like Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Jeremy Doku, Bernardo Silva and many others like the new signing, Marmoush. They feel like Neto may panic and he may badly expose the Gunners in this game if he is the one given the chance.
The hope of the Arsenal fans now is that, David Raya should be available for the game and his absence should just be one of the mind games of Mikel Arteta so that Arsenal can beat Manchester City at the Emirates Stadium and leave them further behind and edge closer to the League leaders, Liverpool.
