The day before semi-final cup football returns to Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta was at the Sobha Realty Training Centre fielding questions from the media ahead of our Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Newcastle United.
He gave an update on the wellbeing of the squad and the latest fitness issues, his thoughts on the Magpies and the January transfer window.
Here is everything he had to say:
on Ethan Nwaneri’s injury:
Unfortunately he’s picked up an injury and is going to be out for a few weeks.
on the type of injury:
It’s a muscular injury.
