Reacting  arsenal boss Arteta has this to say: “We have to go day by day.”

“There are different reasons why [our players] are not here with us and I will assess it”.

“The thing is they all want to be involved as quickly as possible but some of them couldn’t be here and hopefully, we haven’t lost anybody else for Sunday.
“We are here to win football matches and that’s the pressure.

We know the number of matches that we’re going to have to win if we want to be there but you can’t look too far ahead.

“A lot has happened in recent weeks, it’s been extremely difficult to manage the squad and the team because we’ve lost a lot of players and we have to re-unite,

we have to win on Sunday and look from there because then we have a window and hopefully we can get some players back.”
