Arsenal youth star sent back to club as injury crisis threatens Premier League title hopes

Dan Crowley reportedly failed to impress at Barnsley

DAN CROWLEY has returned to Arsenal after his loan spell was ended two months early by Barnsley.

 

The 18-year-old is highly thought of at Emirates and moved to Oakwell in July in deal until January.
But after 10 first-team appearances, the League One club have decided to send the youngster back to Arsenal.

The Daily Mirror claim, the coaching staff have been "unimpressed" with the midfielder's performances.
The report adds that staff at Barnsley feel Crowley is "nowhere near ready for first-team football".

Crowley's return does coincide in the double injury blow Arsenal suffered in their 3-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday last night.

Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain both limped off in the first half and could be set for a spell on the sidelines.
