He will be healthy. The main issue is competition now. Arteta had him behind Vieira and Nelson last season due to injuries. This season he’ll likely be on the bench behind Havertz, Vieira and Nelson. He will cook when he gets his chances but it is going to take a lot for him to be a starter. Arteta’s most recent remarks about Havertz being essential to the midfield doesn’t bode well for ESR. Not a big fan of Vieira or Havertz so I am biased when I say I prefer Hale End products. If ESR doesn’t get quality minutes, I wouldn’t be upset if he heads to another club.
