"Lewis-Skelly's suspension will be particularly frustrating for him in a season where minutes have been hard to come by. Having been a regular on Arteta's side last season, Lewis-Skelly has made just one Premier League start so far this term, having seemingly already lost Arteta's trust."
"FA Cup rules state that if a player picks up two yellows cards in the competition up to and including the quarter-finals, they will receive a one-match suspension. Ben White and Christian Norgaard are the only other Arsenal players to have been booked in the FA Cup so far this season."
"But I said last time there is a component to it that it's about competition and performance and the door is always open for guys who perform on a regular and high level. Myles simply needs more starts, more minutes."
Arsenal faces Mansfield Town in the FA Cup with a favorable draw throughout the competition. However, defender Lewis-Skelly is unavailable due to suspension from accumulated yellow cards under FA Cup rules, which mandate a one-match ban after two yellows through the quarter-finals. This suspension compounds a difficult season for Lewis-Skelly, who has struggled for minutes despite being a regular last season, earning only one Premier League start. His limited opportunities have come in cup competitions. The suspension also threatens his England World Cup squad prospects, as manager Thomas Tuchel previously emphasized the need for consistent playing time and regular starts.
