“I showed frustration? I show frustration with all of them. I still trust Enzo, no reason to lose confidence in him.”

Maresca on Ruud van Nistelrooy

Ange: Last two matches

“Unbelievable physical effort against Man City and a lot of positives, but the team still performed badly against Crystal Palace.”

Ange: No longer Spursy?

Arteta on injuries, Nwaneri’s form, learning lessons from Newcastle last season and MORE…

 

09:38 Arteta: Rare to see a 17-year-old like Nwaneri

“I can talk about how good he is right now. At 17, to be in the position he is in at one of the biggest clubs in Europe sums up where he is. He is surrounded by the right people. My prediction is going to be very positive.

“It’s rare to see a talent like this at 17 years old, that’s true. We didn’t do it because it was a gift, we saw a path for him and wanted to show the trust in him.

“I think the biggest thing is to push him. Once you push, grab him from behind. When you see this talent, you have to push him. He has to see he can fly and not cut his wings.

“That shows in the building that there is a pathway and for other players to follow.”

09:33 Arteta on Tomiyasu

“No, I don’t expect him to be available before the break, unfortunately.”

09:30 Arteta on Calafiori, Odegaard and White

“Riccy and Martin are out definitely. With Ben, we don’t know yet. Let’s wait and see.”

09:28 Gabriel could be fit for Arsenal

Mikel Arteta says defender Gabriel could be involved this weekend. “We have a training session today, if he can complete that, he will be available.”

09:20 Slot on left-back issues

“I wouldn’t it’s say a dilemma. There are other positions where we have rotated.

“It probably also has to do with Robbo’s pre-season. He had no pre-season because he came back injured from the Euros so he missed almost the whole pre-season. For most of them it was only two weeks but for him it was only a few days.”

09:04 Injury update from Slot

Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota won’t be back before the international break, Arne Slot confirms. He hopes Chiesa he can train during that period in order to be back afterwards.
