Press conference

'It’ll be extraordinary to have our fans back'

It will be an historic night on Thursday as we welcome 2,000 supporters back to Emirates Stadium after nine months of playing behind-closed-doors.

While we wish we could have more supporters with us, Mikel Arteta is excited to be taking the first step in the process towards normality.

 

"It is going to be extraordinary to have them back, it will feel strange," he said. "The club has done amazing work to facilitate everybody at short notice to be able to attend the stadium and I am sure it will work really well.

 

"I am feeling sorry as well for thousands of fans that I am sure would like to make it, but can’t be there.

 

"We are ready to host as many as we possibly can. It is going to depend on how the pandemic develops, and the new measurements when we start to open things up a little bit and see how people react to that. Hopefully we can do that.

 

"Who knows how it is going to develop? What we can do as a club, we will do to our maximum obviously."
