All my defenders are afraid of Him now after what He did against Bibao,I have tried to drive away the fear in them but is not working as it stands,I just hope He gets injured before on Sunday”, Ruben Amorim reveals the ONE Arsenal player that His team is afraid of facing on Sunday

Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim has sparked controversy ahead of his side’s upcoming European clash with Arsenal, after openly admitting that his defenders are terrified of facing one particular Gunners forward.

Speaking candidly in a press conference, Amorim revealed the fear has gripped his backline ever since they watched the player’s recent performance against Athletic Bilbao.

> “All my defenders are afraid of him now after what he did against Bilbao,” Amorim confessed. “I have tried to drive away the fear in them but it is not working as it stands. I just hope he gets injured before Sunday.”

While Amorim didn’t name the player directly, speculation points heavily toward Arsenal’s in-form attacker, who has been tearing through defences in recent weeks with blistering pace, clinical finishing, and relentless pressing.

The Sporting boss admitted he has been trying to instill confidence in his squad, but privately fears the damage the Arsenal star could inflict if left unchecked.

His comments have quickly gone viral, with Arsenal fans mocking the apparent fear factor their forward now commands in Europe. Rival supporters, however, have criticized Amorim for hoping for an injury, branding it “unsportsmanlike” even if said in a lighthearted tone.

With the high-stakes clash just days away, the pressure is firmly on Sporting’s defenders to step up and prove their manager wrong — while Arsenal’s feared star will be looking to add another ruthless performance to his growing highlight reel.
