Sampdoriain 2018 and experienced a splendid debut season at the Emirates Stadium, however, after suffering from an ankle injury in his second season and Mikel Arteta taking charge at the club, the Uruguay international experienced a severe decline in his playing time.
Falling down Arteta’s pecking order and not being able to show his potential in the field were so hard for Torreira that the 25-year-old had to seek the assistance of a psychologist.
"A year ago I was working with a psychologist in Spain because, in the second year at Arsenal, I played very little,”
Torreira told
El Otro Partido.
"It was hard for me to really take it in because my life depends on football and when I don’t play I have a very bad time, I am in a very bad mood and many things happen.
"That’s why I started with him and he was giving me a hand with that topic.
"Many years ago they would say to you 'but how are you going to go to a psychologist, are you crazy?' And today it is very important, especially for those of us who experience a lot of situations in terms of being away from your family."
