Overview
- Nwaneri earned a rare start at Slavia Prague in the Champions League, replacing Eberechi Eze as one of four changes to Arsenal's lineup.
- BBC reporter Alex Howell noted Mikel Arteta animatedly instructing Nwaneri to adjust his body position during the first half.
- Match reports cited seven ground duels with two won and no aerial duels won for Nwaneri, who was withdrawn just after the hour for Eze.
- Fan reaction on social media focused on concerns over his physical duels and off-ball impact despite recognition of his age and potential.
- This season has brought fewer first-team minutes and a move from the wing into midfield, contrasting with his productive Champions League outings last year.
