The duo’s exceptional performances on the international stage coincide with a pivotal moment in their young careers, with Lewis-Skelly facing a lack of playing time in the Premier League and Nwaneri on loan at Marseille. Despite their limited senior playing time this season, Carsley insists giving them game time at international level is vital to their development and pace.
He added: “(Myles) was propelled very quickly, going straight from Arsenal to the senior team, and he now finds himself in a situation where he is lacking game time at Arsenal; so it was the perfect time for him. What I can control is the playing time I give him at international level, and the fact that he has played two 90-minute games in a short space of time puts him in a good position for his return to Arsenal. »
