Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has revealed that illness was the reason behind Jorginho's half-time withdrawal against Everton.
The Italian international was selected from the start for the fourth game in succession against the Toffees but lasted just 45 minutes before having to be replaced by former Atletico Madrid ace Thomas Partey. In truth, it was arguably Jorginho's worst half in an Arsenal shirt so far after what has been a promising start to life in North London.
However, it has since been explained why he may have appeared off the pace as Arteta told reporters the ex-Chelsea ace was battling with illness during the game.
