Jorginho didn’t show up to the last training which got everyone wondering if he’ll be playing in the match. Ever since he came over from Chelsea in January 2023 Jorginho has been really important in controlling how fast the game goes and has played 25 games and got 2 goals this season. If he can’t play it could really change how Arsenal sets up their midfield.
Arsenal’s Preparations for Real Madrid
Everyone’s watching how Arsenal gets ready for this Champions League game real close. With Thomas Partey going to Madrid Mikel Arteta can use his smart playing style in midfield. Arteta has done a great job putting Partey and Jorginho into a system that can change up how they play and defend really well. Even though Jorginho missed training the team is thinking hard about what’s coming up.
