Ex-midfielder of London Arsenal Theo Walcott, speculating on the topic of the upcoming match of his former team with Liverpool in the 9th round of the championship of England, suggested that the Ukrainian defender of the "canoniers" Alexander Zinchenko could become a key player in this fight.
"For this match Arsenal may need to attract the experience of Zinchenko. They will need him as the player who is better than others familiar in practice with this kind of intense matches and their importance. And I'm sure Mikel (Mikel Arteta, Arsenal head coach - ed.) understands that. This is one of those matches where Arsenal really need to get a result," Walcott said on Sky Sports.
We add that the match between Arsenal and Liverpool will be held next Sunday, October 27. The only open question is whether Zinchenko is ready: last Saturday he was included in Arsenal's squad for the first time (but did not appear on the pitch) after missing a month and a half due to injury.
