Raheem Sterling seems to be walking on air again, and Arsenal will need him to be at his best as they travel for seven of their next ten games. The Gunners’ demanding autumn calendar begins with a sundowner at Vitality Stadium, which will reveal a lot about their willingness to contend for titles and the Champions League.
Because of captain Martin Odegaard’s approaching ankle injury comeback and Sterling’s apparent improvement in training, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has reason to be positive about his team’s ability to play on the road. Of the England players at the Gunners, none smiled wider than Sterling, who was cruelly benched by Gareth Southgate after Thomas Tuchel was appointed manager of the Three Lions.

In the last two years, he has turned Arsenal from soft touches to street fighters away from home, and he thinks his travel protocols will work wonders for them. “We discuss and put things in place, especially to make the players feel fresh,” he stated. “There is a lot of traveling, a lot of requirements, routines, and habits that change.”
They are accustomed to it, though, as many of them have only spent the last ten days playing international football and staying in hotels. The away games get more difficult when those two factors are combined and they account for a significant number of certain times. While always giving performance and preparation, rest, and recuperation first priority, you attempt to keep those times as brief and productive as you can.
