Former Arsenal defender Armand Traore has criticised Mikel Arteta over his failure to address the club’s defensive issues.
Kieran Tierney’s absence through injury has left the Gunners’ boss short of options at left-back over the past few games.
Cedric Soares has been deployed as Tierney’s replacement despite being more comfortable playing at right-back.
Speaking to Stadium Astro after Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at Aston Villa on Saturday, Traore hit out at Arteta’s failure to resolve the problem.
“I would have liked to see a left-back coming in for cover for Kieran because I believe that he has got a lot of injuries issues at the moment,” he said.
