Arsenal icon Arsene Wenger previously apologised for Rob Holding ahead of the defender potentially playing a key role in the Gunners’ fight to earn a place in next season’s Champions League.
The north London side are embroiled in a battle to finish in the top four between now and the end of the campaign, with Tottenham Hotspur also well involved in the race.
It is currently Arsenal who hold the advantage as they sit fourth with a two-point lead over Spurs heading into what could be a key north London derby in just over a week. That game could likely be key in deciding who earns a place in the Champions League and it might fall on the shoulders of Holding to play a surprise role in the battle.
