Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that he will not be rotating his side for the Napoli clash in the Champions League due to stability being needed.
The Gunners will face a hostile reception in Italy when they take on the Seria A side and they know that as long as they avoid a three-goal defeat, they will qualify for the knockout stages of the competition.
Wenger’s men are currently on 12 points but still haven’t gained their knockout status just yet and the boss is determined to get the job done their own way, so that means no squad rotation.
“I cannot afford to do that [rotate]” Wenger said. “We will try to rotate a little bit at times, but never more than two or three players because the stability of the side is so important.
“When you play so many games, sometimes in one game you have a feeling the legs are a bit tired, but sometimes the game after they surprise you again and everybody has recovered.
“At the moment we have a stable squad. In some positions I rotate more than others where the stability is important.
“But overall we have no major signs of fatigue medically.”
