Press conference

Team news: Tomiyasu, Leno and Martinelli

We’re back in Premier League action on Saturday when we host Brentford - but what’s the latest on the fitness of the squad?

This is what Mikel Arteta told the media on Friday:

on Tomiyasu and the team news…

We are all good. The doubt was Tomiyasu, which is still not perfect, but he has trained the last few days so he is in contention and we can use him so that’s really positive. Otherwise we are good, we know that Gabi [Martinelli] is out with the red card he received against Wolves but the rest of the players are okay.

on Bernd Leno’s recovery from Covid…

He’s fine. He’s recovered well, he didn’t have too many symptoms, he’s trained the last few days and he felt good so he will be available.
