The fit-again Evanilson is also named among the substitutes.

      General hasn’t even had an Arsenal defender all season. Fair enough no Haaland if you decide to play that way but at least fill your team with all the other good picks 😆

    So, captaining Woltemade instead of Haaland and punting on Foden vs. Cherki wasn't the play. Sigh.
