Ian Wright not happy with question asked to him about Arsenal after Rodri’s injury for Man City
Arsenal and Manchester City drew 2-2 on Sunday, but most of the stories coming out of the game weren’t surrounding the football that was played.
Indeed, the referee’s performance was the centre of attention around this game, while a season-ending injury to Rodri has also m🐷ade headlines all week๊ long.
The Spaniard suffered what appears to be an ACL injury against Arsenal, and there h🍸as been a lot of chat about this injury after the game.
Speaking on the , Kelly Cates has suggested that Arsenal targetꦑed Rodri, but, as you may imagine, Ian Wright wasn’t too happy with that suggestion.
Ian Wright unhappy with Rodri suggestion
Wright ✤reacted negativ🌃ely after Cates suggested Rodri was targeted.
“We haven’t spoken about Rodri’s injury and Man City fans will feel as if he was targeted by Arsenal?” Cates sa🔯id.
“What? Targeted? He got 🔜an injury running towards the corner,” Wright said.
“But before that as well, there was a physi♔cal presence around Rodri,” Cates replied.
“But we have a physical presence now. You look at the start of the game, Kai Havertz ran towards him saying ‘get out of the way.’ We didn’t kick lumps⛦ out of Rodri. He injured himself trying to get the corner,” Wright ꩲsaid.
Rodri wasn’t targeted by Arsenal
Wright is spot on, Rod💎ri wasn’t targeted in this game.
Yes, there was an incident in ♎the first minute wi𓃲th Kai Havertz that set the tone, but, other than that, Rodri wasn’t the victim of any unfair roughhousing.
Sadly, Rodri did pick up a serious injury, but, as Wright says, that was an off the ball incident that was 🌸very unfortunate.
Arsenal implemented🍰 a few underhanded tactics during the game against Manchester City a🍌s they wasted time and bought fouls to eat away at the clock, but one thing Arsenal can’t be accused of is purposefully trying to harm any of their opponents.
