Serge Gnabry deserves Arsenal chance, says Horst Hrubesch

Horst Hrubesch, coach of Germany's Olympic team, has criticised Arsenal for not playing Serge Gnabry more in the first team.

The 21-year-old has scored three goals at the Games in Rio, including the equaliser in a 3-3 draw with South Korea on Sunday, but has only made just 10 times in the Premier League since making his debut in October 2012.

Last season he played just 12 minutes of a loan spell at West Bromwich Albion and Hrubesch believes the winger should be more involved at the Emirates.

"He's shown what he can do to everybody," Hrubesch said on sport1.de. "I'm just annoyed that he is never shown this faith by his club."

Gnabry has scored three of Germany's five goals so far in Brazil and also earned acclaim from his team-mates.

"He's our saviour," said Borussia Dortmund defender Matthias Ginter, who won the World Cup with Germany two years ago.
