In the pre-match press conference, Mikel Arteta discussed Kai Havertz, and said: “So he’s done a part of the session, we will have to wait and see whether he’s available and in which condition. The rest I don’t think there will be anybody else.”
The Gunners boss confirmed: “Ben (White) is not available.”
He also teased a potential return for Martin Odegaard, saying: “We will see.” When quizzed further on his status, Arteta said: “Yeah, we have to wait and see how comfortable he is to do certain actions.”
Arteta also confirmed David Raya and Max Dowman were available, and also spoke on the availability of Declan Rice: “I hope so. He was much better today. Obviously, we haven’t really trained because we have only two days to prepare the game. So, hopefully, it’s going to be better tomorrow,” said the Arsenal boss.
