Mikel Arteta on Viktor Gyökeres: "These are moments in a player's career, or in a season, I would say. And we are trying to help him as much as possible. The other day, I think he had some very good moments. "He's 3 or 4 times in front of goal with no keeper, and the ball should arrive to him and it doesn't. And then maybe you're talking about something else, but these are the strikers. It's very small margins, scoring or not scoring changes the narrative, for sure, not the perception of how much he can help the team."

Mikel Arteta on Zubimendi, Hincapié, Tzolis and Saliba: "Well, Piero is evolving really well as well, so, and knowing his character and the way he pushes everybody, I'm sure it's not going to take long, I think. But he will need probably another week or two. "Zubi looks much better. He already looked much better today, and we have another session tomorrow, and after that we'll assess whether he's available to play against Forest." Then asked: "Zubi maybe for this game and Hincapié maybe before the international break?" "I'm very hopeful, but we have to see how this evolves." Then asked: "Christos, we haven't had an update on him?" "Yeah, again doing really well. Yesterday had another MRI scan to see how the injury is evolving. It's progressing really well. Another one that hopefully we can have back in a few weeks." Then asked: "And we know for a couple of weeks now that William Saliba has been out on the grass doing his own work, and you've already alluded to the fact it may not be before the international break that we see him playing again. Is that still the situation?" "Again, I think next week we have another MRI with him to see how the healing process is at the moment, but every sign so far has been very, very positive. And yeah, it will be great to have him."
