Premier League: Arteta banned for Arsenal against Aston Villa

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, will be banned from the touchline for Saturday’s trip to Aston Villa in the Premier League.

Arteta was booked for his celebrations when Declan Rice scored a dramatic 97th-minute winner in Arsenal’s 4-3 win at Luton on Tuesday night.

It was the Gunners manager’s fourth yellow card of the season, which resulted in a touchline ban.

Arsenal visit Aston Villa, on a run of 12 consecutive home victories, on Saturday, December 9.

Arsenal defender, Takehiro Tomiyasu, is also going to be “out for a while” after a scan revealed a serious calf injury.

The Japan defender came off injured in Arsenal’s 2-1 win over Wolves last Saturday and missed the 4-3 win at Luton on Tuesday night.

After the game at Kenilworth Road, Arteta said in his press conference: “We had a scan, and it’s not good news.

“He’s got an injury in his calf, and he’s going to be out for a while.”

Rice scored a late goal to break Luton’s hearts and send Arsenal five points clear at the top of the Premier League after a 4-3 victory for the Gunners at Kenilworth Road on Tuesday.
