Rio Ferdinand Shocked by Arteta's Decision on Lewis-Skelly at Arsenal

Former England footballer Rio Ferdinand expressed disbelief over Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta's decision to bench young talent Myles Lewis-Skelly. Lewis-Skelly impressed last season but has not started in any of Arsenal's league games this season.

Ferdinand questioned Arteta's choice, highlighting Lewis-Skelly's potential and the need for game time. The teenager has only made substitute appearances so far.

Ferdinand, along with fellow pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville, praised Lewis-Skelly's abilities. However, Arteta seems to prefer Riccardo Calafiori in Lewis-Skelly's position.

Ferdinand emphasized the importance of nurturing young talent and giving them opportunities to develop. The situation has sparked discussions among football enthusiasts about Arteta's selection strategy and the handling of promising players at Arsenal.
