Arsenal star Lucas Torreira helped his nation reach the World Cup quarter-finals. In mid-December,
PremierInjuries.com released a report showing that 75 injuries were suffered between the 48 Premier League players who reached the last 8 at the World Cup and Torreira is just one of the few players who has not suffered an injury.
However, Unai Emery has acquired a habit of benching him.
Henry Winter of The Times has explained the reasoning behind Emery’s management of Torreira.
“Arsenal’s head coach has planned for the long-term by bedding him into his side,” said Winter.
“Whilst Emery’s management of Torreira has annoyed fans, it has also been smart and shown a clear conscience for his player’s welfare. The former Sampdoria player has been sensational in North London and is sure to play a huge role in any of Arenal’s future successes.”
