Zinchenko sat out Arsenal's Champions League match in reserve

Arsenal's Ukrainian defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has lost his place in the squad. At least for one match.

Alexander Zinchenko

The 26-year-old player was not in the starting line-up of the "canoniers" for yesterday's meeting of the 3rd round of the Champions League group stage with Spanish "Sevilla" (2:1). There was no Ukrainian among those Arsenal players who came on as substitutes in this match.

Apparently, the place "on the bank" for Zinchenko was a consequence of the unsuccessful game, which he demonstrated in Saturday's match with Chelsea (2:2), according to the results of which he was one of the worst in his team.
