Gabriel Jesus will miss Arsenal’s game against Monaco in the Emirates Cup after sustaining a knee issue. Jesus, 26, has been in excellent form during pre-season so far, but will not feature as the Gunners prepare to host the Ligue 1 side in north London. Eddie Nketiah has been given the nod up front, with Folarin Balogun also not included in the squad as he is recovering from an injury. Gabriel Martinelli and Fabio Viera are set to start alongside Nketiah in a front-three as Bukayo Saka and Leandro Trossard settle for a place on the bench. Declan Rice is, however, named in the XI for…

Aaron Ramsdale: Probably lucky not to concede right at the beginning of the second half when Ben Yedder hit the post but that wasn’t his fault. Well positioned when called upon. Goal kicks could do with a little more variety though. Saved a penalty in the shootout to earn hero status for the day! 6. William Saliba: Came off too early to get a second half rating. n/a. Jakub Kiwior: Switched back out to right centre back and did OK there too. Seems as though he’ll have a much more important role going into next season after taking a while to get going in his…

Lukaku returned to Stamford Bridge for a second spell in 2021, with the Blues forking out £97.5 million to sign him from Inter Milan. However, he scored just eight goals and headed back to Inter Milan on loan after becoming unhappy in west London.

Meanwhile, Liverpool continues to fall short of a goal since Southampton is unwilling to lower its asking price for Romeo Lavia. It could force Jurgen Klopp to look elsewhere as the seasons nears.
