KEY POINTS

  • Arsenal is fortunate to have a deep roster with young promising players
  • One player they're anticipated to remain patient with is Calum Chambers who is currently recovering from an ACL injury
  • Chambers recently turned 25 and is approaching the prime of his career

The depth of Arsenal’s team is considered deep with young players carrying a bright future ahead of them. While not all careers go as smoothly as possible, it’s speculated that Mikel Arteta's Arsenal can remain patient for their young right-back Calum Chambers.

There’s no question that Chambers possesses the potential to be a great football player in the world. The standout has shown on multiple occasions throughout his career that he can keep up with the best in the sport. It was quite unfortunate that the young defender booming with potential had to be sidelined with an ACL tear.

Prior to his injury, Chambers has developed into a reliable player on the field with his ability to move well and execute crisp passes.

As a member of Arsenal, Chambers has been in a total of 101 appearances. Throughout this stay, he has managed to score on four separate occasions and assist on seven goals. In addition to this, the 25-year-old has shown promise in his career and if given the chance he would have been a more consistent piece of the club.

The devastating ACL injury has sidelined the former English Super Cup winner and is currently on the road to recovery. While this indicates he won’t be able to suit up in any upcoming games, it doesn’t mean that his career with Arsenal is over.

Per Pain In The Arsenal, Chambers is one of the players that the club shouldn’t give up so easily on. It’s much better to give an opportunity for Chambers to grow and fully recover now given that he’s approaching his prime. This is a pivotal part of his career as he will turn 26 next January and has a lot to prove as a football player.

The next few months will be crucial to monitor given how teams are slowly bouncing back from the global pandemic. Expect Arsenal to contemplate on what direction they will take for Chambers. The young defender may not have blossomed as a dominant star but he’s still a serviceable player for Arteta's club.

It will be interesting to see how far Chambers will bounce back from his injury and prove his doubters wrong.
