Arsenal winger will make a starting appearance in the Premier League for the first time since 2020
Arsenal winger Reiss Nelson will be included in the starting lineup for the Gunners in the 31st round of the Premier League against Luton.
Interestingly, this marks the Englishman's first start in a Premier League match in 3 years and 263 days. The last time Nelson started in a Premier League game was on July 15, 2020, when the Gunners defeated Liverpool (2-1), with the winger scoring a goal against the Merseyside team.
Only Mathieu Flamini (5 years, 162 days) and Sol Campbell (3 years, 296 days) have ever had longer breaks between starts for Arsenal in the English league.
The 24-year-old Nelson is a product of Arsenal's youth academy. Prior to this, he has played 48 matches in the Premier League, scoring 4 goals and providing 2 assists.
Arsenal approaches the match against Luton as the second-place team in the championship. The Hatters are currently in 18th position.
