In the pre-match press conference<\/span><\/a>, Mikel Arteta discussed Kai Havertz, and said: \u201cSo 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\u2019t think there will be anybody else.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gunners boss confirmed: \u201cBen (White) is not available.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also teased a potential return for Martin Odegaard, saying: \u201cWe will see.\u201d When quizzed further on his status, Arteta said: \u201cYeah, we have to wait and see how comfortable he is to do certain actions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arteta also confirmed David Raya and Max Dowman were available, and also spoke on the availability of Declan Rice: \u201cI 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,\u201d said the Arsenal boss.<\/p>\n
