Arsenal defender David Luiz desperate to get back on the pitch

Arsenal defender David Luiz is desperate to get back on the pitch.

There remains a clear desire for Premier League football to resume following the shutdown and the season be played out in full, albeit likely behind closed doors.

With Manchester City's Champions League ban, subject to an appeal through the Court of Arbitration for Sport, there is a chance that finishing fifth could see the Gunners back in the Champions League for the first time since 2016-17. Arsenal are five points off fifth and Luiz sees it as very achievable.

"I want to be on the pitch," Luiz said. "Doing what I love and making people happy. If we are going to play the season until the end I want to try and be in the Champions League with Arsenal."
