The Ukrainian defender of London’s Arsenal, Oleksandr Zinchenko, participated in another match of his club but did not record any noteworthy actions and received a yellow card.
The 28-year-old footballer was included in the squad of the Gunners for yesterday’s 1/2 final match of the English League Cup against Newcastle, but remained on the bench, and only entered the game in the 78th minute (in place of Myles Lewis-Skelly).
Notably, just two minutes after his appearance on the field, Zinchenko was cautioned in his very first challenge — for a rough tackle against Newcastle midfielder Joelinton, who was first to the ball. This is the second yellow card for the Ukrainian in the current season.
