Every word Mikel Arteta said on FA charge, Everton FFP, Tomiyasu future and Arsenal injury news
Is Odegaard available?
Hopefully yes. We have another training session today. But he’s been progressing well and hopefully he’ll be available.
He picked up a concussion against Newcastle is that right?
Yes because we didn’t know how many days. It depends on certain things. At the end we got more delayed than we wanted but we had to protect the player.
Will Jesus be available?
He is available. He played 96 mins in a really competitive match. We have another session. They had a long flight. I have to see the condition of every single player to make the final call on the line up.
Is Ben White available?
Hopefully if he’s able to train today he’ll eligible to play. It’s a question mark to find in the next few hours.
Will Ramsdale start?
Yes.
Do you see a difference in him when he knows he’s gonna start?
No, I think every player is willing to play. They are all excited to play. Sometimes they are disappointed the day before or a few hours before the match. Every player is willing to play.
Even if he has an amazing game and saves two penalties he’s still not gonna play on Wednesday against Lens though…
Hopefully he doesn’t need to stop two penalties and he does have an amazing game.
