Mikel Arteta has been talking to the media ahead of our trip to West Ham this Sunday, and he began by updating the latest team news.
Here’s what the boss said:
on whether Bukayo Saka is OK…
Hopefully he will be fine. He had some issues in the final part of the game but he's recovered well and we expect him to be available.
on Thomas Partey's recovery…
He's progressing but he had a significant injury, a recurring injury as well, so we don’t expect him to make progress that quickly to see him this season, but hopefully I am wrong.
on whether Takehiro Tomiyasu can start...
You only know that, after a player's been out for a long spell, when you put him on the pitch. He hasn’t started any matches yet. He's lacked a bit of time on the pitch so it’s a decision we will make tomorrow.
