Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said Myles Lewis-Skelly had been replaced after 35 minutes against PSV on Tuesday because the “responsibility” for the 18-year-old woman who received a red card was “fairly clear”.
Starting on the back left in Eindhoven, Lewis-Skelly was fortunate to avoid a second yellow card from referee Jesus Gil Manzano when he dropped Richard Ledezma at the bottom of half the arsenal.
“I did not want to take risks and manage the game for so long, especially with the importance of the competition,” said Arteta about the 7-1 round of 16 wins in the first legin which Lewis-Skelly was replaced by Riccardo Calafiori.
“It was quite clear that we had a responsibility with the yellow card and the following [foul]. This is a lesson to learn for him, for sure. We will support and help him.
“The line is really thin in sport and he must understand this. He is very intelligent and extremely demanding of himself. He is a perfectionist and he is there to learn. »»
