MIKEL MERINO MOTIVATES GYöKERES TO BOUNCE BACK AND END SCORING STRUGGLES
Arsenal's Mikel Merino backs Viktor Gyokeres to end his goal drought, praising the striker's off-ball work and confidence. Despite 9 games without a goal, Merino insists the goals will come for the Swede.

Gyokeres has now gone nine games without scoring for his club or nation after drawing nothing in last Saturday's 1-0 victory against Fulham.
Merino, however, has commended the Swede's off-ball efforts and feels he has been instrumental in Arsenal's ascent to the Premier League's top spot.
The Spaniard believes Gyokeres' efforts will be rewarded and that the goals will begin to come naturally.
"He has the physicality, the tools, and the players around him to help him score goals, so it is just a matter of time until he does."
He seems quite self-assured to me. He seems like a highly self-assured guy to me. He does the correct things every day in training, as you can see.
"As long as he continues to work and give us his best performances...He seems to be aware of his abilities.
"I am not sure how many goals he scored last season, but it is something you do not forget every day."
"We all trust him, and he will be there." He is a top-tier player, as we all know, and I believe that is all.
"We try our best to love and support Viktor, but that is just our team's default mindset.
Everyone wants that affection, to feel at ease, to be surrounded by kind people, and to have a reliable team.
Viktor is merely one illustration of that, but I believe that everyone wants him to continue doing what he is doing.
"Obviously, it is even better for him and everyone else if he scores goals. However, as I already stated, the team's victory is what matters most. He and everyone else will be content as long as the team is winning.
Merino has advised fans not to ignore Gyokeres' contributions to the team, even though he may not have been finding the net.
He stated, "We can not be concentrating just on the numbers."
"I am aware that statistics are quite important in modern sport. You can see how much he offers us, though, if you watch the games.
He is providing us with a plethora of options both on and off the ball. You must view the data to realize the incredible amount of labor he puts in throughout each game. He assists the squad both on and off the ball.
It might be unfair to strikers at times because it appears like they are not doing anything if they do not score.
However, he is giving us a lot, and I have no doubt that goals will materialize. He undoubtedly wants to score as many goals as the others, but helping the team win comes first.
"As we are a team and a collective, I am very certain that he is also pleased that he is giving his teammates the finest performances both on and off the ball."
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF
"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
