Aaron Ramsdale praises Mikel Arteta for his compassion after his wife’s miscarriage
Ramsdale and his wife Georgina got married earlier this summer, but had a difficult start to the year"There’s really no way that I can describe the pain of that six-hour flight back to London, even now. I just want people out there to know that they’re not alone if they’re going through it themselves."
"When we got back, I didn’t tell many people what happened. Only my family, my teammates, and of course Mikel," he explained. "He was fantastic about everything. Even in the middle of the title race, with so much pressure on the club, he asked me if I needed some time off to deal with everything. Mikel went above and beyond to make sure me and my family were OK.a manager. We don’t always see eye-to-eye on everything. We have some very florid conversations about football sometimes.
He said: "Three days later, we were playing Spurs in the derby, and for me that was the only way to get my mind off things. Football has always been my escape. I told the manager I wanted to play. It couldn’t have been a better night.
