For the first time this season, Mikel Arteta faced the media after a defeat.
The boss was asked about his side’s performance, the latest on Bukayo Saka after his first-half withdrawal, and the preparations for the match.
Here’s a full transcript from the post-match press conference in France…
On Bukayo Saka’s Injury…
He tried to backheel the ball in the first-half and felt something, it was something muscular and he was uncomfortable to carry on so we had to take him off.
On the seriousness of Saka’s injury…
We don’t know anything more than that, obviously it was big enough not to allow him to continue to play the game and that’s obviously a worry for us.
