Freddie Ljungberg sends message to Unai Emery over Arsenal starlet ahead of BATE clash

Arsenal Under-23s coach Freddie Ljungberg has backed Eddie Nketiah to fire Arsenal past BATE Borisov. "If he gets the call, he’s ready to play without question," Ljungberg told the Islington Gazette . "It’s totally up to the manager, I’ve always thought we have players who are ready to do well but it’s up to the first team. "All I can do is advise and try to get the players as ready as possible. It’s important for Eddie to play games. As a striker, you can’t just train because you want to feel that feeling to get yourself in the right place at the right time to score. "That’s why I think it was important for Eddie to play so he’s ready when he gets a chance in the first-team. He needs games, as a striker he always needs to be playing."
