LONDON. — Lukas Podolski has done little to dispel speculation that he is unhappy at Arsenal after reacting to Arsene Wenger’s decision to leave him on the bench against Aston Villa.
Podolski has been linked with a move away from the Gunners in recent weeks, with suggestions in the German press that he is disgruntled at not being a regular starter.
And the forward seemed to hint at his frustration at game time after Wenger opted to put Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, not him, on against Villa. The England winger has been out injured, but he got the nod ahead of Podolski, who was expected to come on. Podolski angrily zipped up his training jacket and shook his head at Wenger’s decision in the closing stages of the match, suggesting he was far from impressed. — Metro.
