Every word from Arteta's pre-Real Madrid presser

Related Topics: Mikel Arteta, Madrid

After we touched down in the Spanish capital ahead of our Champions League quarter-final second leg with Real Madrid, Mikel Arteta was whisked off to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu for his pre-match press conference.

He was asked about injuries in the camp, the threat of a Madrid comeback, and our approach given our 3-0 aggregate lead among other things.

Here is everything he had to say:

on team news:
The positive one is Ben White, he managed to train with us today, so he will be in the squad. [Thomas Partey] is available, he had a niggle in the game, that's why he had to come off, but he felt good after the last few days, so he's fine.
