Arteta addresses Lewis-Skelly’s discipline issues amid poor form

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has addressed the disciplinary issues of 18-year-old Myles Lewis-Skelly following his recent performances, including a red card against West Ham and narrowly escaping a second yellow during a Champions League match against PSV Eindhoven. Arteta held a one-on-one discussion with Lewis-Skelly to emphasize the importance of understanding the balance between aggression and discipline on the pitch. Despite Lewis-Skelly's overall record of two yellow cards and one red in 12 Premier League appearances not being alarming, Arteta is keen to prevent the situation from escalating, highlighting the need for the player to recognize when to engage in tackles. Arteta described Lewis-Skelly as a superb player with great potential but stressed the importance of making better in-game decisions. Ahead of Arsenal's upcoming match against Manchester United, Arteta remains hopeful that the young full-back will learn from these experiences and improve his judgment in critical moments.
