Arsecast Extra Episode 688 - 30.03.2026
3/30/20261 hr 24 min
In this episode we take stock of what the Arsenal players have been up to, or not up to, during the Interlull. There are possible injuries, but also some withdrawals that are probably more about common sense. We discuss the players in question, and also the ones who are still involved with their countries as the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Riccardo Calafiori and Christian Norgaard look to secure a place at the World Cup. We also chat about Ben White's England return and the boo-boys who greeted his introduction, as well as answering listener questions about Mikel Arteta's style of play, Myles Lewis-Skelly as a midfield option, a hypothetical choice between the Premier League and the Champions League, and lots more.
