“He is suspended from all training activities until further notice. This isn’t the first or second time he has caused me frustration this season. We can’t be investing a huge amount in you, only for you to be the one costing us in every game,” Mikel Arteta officially announced, confirming the suspension of one Arsenal player responsible for West Ham’s goal—not Rice and Skelly.

BREAKING: Mikel Arteta Suspends Arsenal Star After Costly Mistakes Against West Ham

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has taken a bold step by officially suspending one of his players after the team’s disappointing performance against West Ham.

The Spanish coach, clearly frustrated with repeated costly errors, announced that the player in question will not be involved in any training activities until further notice.

“This is not the first or second time he has caused me pain this season. We can’t be paying huge amounts for you, and you still end up costing us in every game,” Arteta reportedly said while confirming the decision.

Although Arteta did not directly name the player in his initial statement, sources close to the club confirm that the suspension is not for Declan Rice or young talent Skelly.

This revelation has left Arsenal fans speculating about the identity of the player who has now found himself in trouble with the manager.

Arteta’s Ruthless Approach

This move is reminiscent of how Arteta handled Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s situation at Arsenal. The former club captain was frozen out of the squad due to disciplinary issues before eventually leaving for Barcelona. Arteta has built a reputation for being strict when it comes to discipline and accountability, regardless of a player’s status in the team.

For the suspended player, this will be a difficult moment, as being sidelined indefinitely could affect his confidence and future at the club.

However, it also sends a strong message to the rest of the squad—mistakes and lack of responsibility will not be tolerated at Arsenal.

Arsenal Fans React

Following the announcement, Arsenal supporters have taken to social media to express their opinions. Some agree with Arteta’s decision, arguing that repeated mistakes have cost the team valuable points in the title race. Others, however, feel that public suspension might be too harsh and could impact squad morale.

With crucial fixtures coming up, Arteta will need his team to stay focused and avoid further slip-ups. It remains to be seen if the suspended player will be given a second chance or if this signals the beginning of the end for him at Arsenal.
