Arteta admits Arsenal ‘lacked spark’ but face wait for Saka and Martinelli return
‘We have to generate more shots on target’Martinelli has a ‘chance’ to return before Saka
Mikel Arteta admitted Arsenal “lacked that spark” in the goalless draw at Nottingham Forest that has left his team 13 points behind Liverpool with 11 games left.
The Arsenal manager praised his team’s dominance and attempts to find different routes to goal but conceded that with the absence of his main four attacking players – Bukayo Saka, Gabriel Martinelli, Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz – Forest were able to deny them clearcut chances.
