Story summary

Mikel Arteta, Arsenal's head coach, criticized Bruno Guimaraes after Guimaraes' performance against Brighton was deemed subpar compared to his debut match for Arsenal. Arteta emphasized that being at peak performance every week is a requirement for Arsenal and highlighted the need for consistent high-level play from each player. Guimaraes started only one game during Brazil's recent international fixtures in Australia and India, affecting his conditioning and readiness when he rejoined Arsenal after the World Cup break. Due to minor injuries and lack of pre-season training following the summer break, Guimaraes has limited starts for Arsenal since joining the team just weeks before the season began. Arteta aims to raise overall player standards by demanding peak performance in every game.
