The head coach of London\'s Arsenal, Mikel Arteta, admitted that he always finds it hard to decide to leave his team\'s Ukrainian defender Alexander Zinchenko out of the game.
"The decision not to put Zinchenko on the field in any given match is always very difficult for me. I come to this with only the intention of achieving the result with the kind of game I want to see. But Alex has been regularly proving for many years what he is capable of," said Arteta at the pre-match press conference before yesterday's 4th round match of the English League Cup against Preston (3:0), in which, by the way, Zinchenko was included in the starting lineup of Arsenal.
