Every word Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta said on Gabriel injury scare, Saka mindset, Jesus fitness

Team news? How's Gabriel?

We’ve got one more day to prepare the match. We will see tomorrow if everyone is available.

No hangover from Bayern?

We have some but hopefully with another day we’ll be OK.

What did you make of Bayern?

Reflection done, Bayern done. Now it’s only Aston Villa.

Has Saka calmed down after the penalty?

Yes. He looked fine this morning. He’s had 48 hours to think about it and that’s done.

What’s impressed you most about Aston Villa?

What they’ve done since Unai came in. He’s made a huge impact in terms of performances. It’s consistently unbelievable what they’ve been doing. They’re in European competition where they played last night. Really impressed with what they’ve done.

What effect does playing last have?

We will know the results. We still have our duty to win our game which is the only thing we can control. That happened a few times already, it will happen again in the next few weeks. Just focus on what we can do, what we can control against a really good side to beat them.

Are you happy that semi automated offsides have come in?

Yes, if it’s unanimous that means it’s going to be better. It’s going to be faster and more efficient. Hopefully it’s going to be better for us.

When’s Timber back?

Still he’s got a few steps to make. He needs to play at least a game with the 23s. We’re going to have an in house game too soon. He’s done everything in training now it’s about getting him match fit, having people around him and competing in a football match which is different to training.

What can he give you when you’re back?
