The manager of English premier club, Arsenal FC, has revealed in a press conference on Thursday that he dropped midfielder, Mesut Ozil from h is 25-man squad from his Europa League because of an excess of foreign players.
Ghanaian midfielder, Thomas Partey’s new inclusion to his squad means he has 19 non-homegrown players in Arsenal’s squad.
“He wasn’t the only one who was not in the [EL] squad. It is a really difficult decision for me to make because to leave players out of the squad at that level, where they know they cannot get involved, is really tough.
“I don’t like it at all, but the decision had to be made because we have an excess of foreign players. Unfortunately we had to make that decision,” Arteta said.
