In his final seasons at Arsenal, why was Mertesacker's playing time limited?

  • Falling out of favor

  • Transfer disputes

  • Injuries

  • Non-performance

Answer

Due to recurring injuries, primarily a serious knee injury sustained in 2016, Mertesacker's playing time at Arsenal became increasingly limited during his final seasons with the club. This restricted his ability to consistently feature in the starting lineup and ultimately led to a reduction in his overall appearances on the pitch.
