'Luckily we have good depth in midfield, everyone was really good today': Raya on Partey absence
Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has shared his thoughts following the Gunners' 1-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Emirates.
Despite the loss, Raya highlighted the team’s effort and the depth in midfield, especially with the absence of key player Thomas Partey.
"We know how good Thomas Partey is, but luckily we have good depth in midfield that everyone can step in. Declan Rice played as a No.6 and played a great game. He was very good on the ball. Everyone was really good today," Raya has stated.
