EPL: Leno slams Arteta for dropping Ramsdale

Former Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno has criticised manager Mikel Arteta over his decision to drop Aaron Ramsdale for David Raya.

Arteta has picked Raya for their last two fixtures against Everton in the Premier League and PSV in the Champions League.

The decision has led to controversy among fans and pundits.

Leno is one of those who feels it was a strange one.

He told The Times: “As a manager, I would never change my goalkeeper to say, ‘Oh, today I need a goalkeeper good with his feet, or one good at crosses,’ or ‘Today I need a good shot-stopper because we play against Man City and they will have ten shots or something.’ I would never do that.”
