Former Arsenal star Ian Wright has leapt to the defence of under-fire Gunners’ star Albert Sambi Lokonga after the Belgian was on the end of a Martin Odegaard rant.
The former Anderlecht midfielder started on the bench for the North London side’s FA Cup defeat to Manchester City but was introduced after the break following an injury to Thomas Partey. He endured a tricky evening and struggled to find a foothold in midfield.
A video of Norwegian playmaker Odegaard lashing out at his teammate for his positional awareness went viral shortly after the final whistle. Fans also claimed that Lokonga would not be the ideal replacement for Partey should the Ghanaian be out for an extended period.
