Arsenal defender rallies his teammates ahead of Milan trip

Arsenal defender Sead Kolasinac has challenged his side to go all the way in the Europa League.

As quoted by Goal, the Bosnia and Herzegovina international issued a rallying cry to his teammates ahead of their trip to AC Milan on Thursday following a treacherous run of results.

On Thursday, we fly to Milan. We cannot bury our heads in the sand. We have to look forward and try to do better next time.

Arsenal have lost their last four games in all competitions and are in need of a big win. They will have a chance to get back to winning ways when they take on Milan in the first leg of their round of 16 clash.

Kolasinac admitted that Arsenal have underwhelmed this season but insisted that there is a collective focus on avoiding defeat in the remaining stretch of the campaign.

My individual goal is to not lose another game this season, if it is possible. I think we have to play 10 or 11 more games. In these matches, we have to fight for every point.

The former Schalke star urged his side to do everything they can to secure themselves a Europa League title, with their passage to the Champions League through the Premier League looking increasingly doubtful.

We definitely want to reach the final in this competition, because you can qualify for the Champions League if you win the Europa League. This should be our goal.
