Arsenal Team News<\/h3>\n

During the pre-match press conference<\/span><\/a>, Mikel Arteta was asked if everyone was ok after the Atletico game: \u201cI think so, so let\u2019s see how everybody is tomorrow morning. Obviously, we haven\u2019t been able to train much, so tomorrow we\u2019ll have the final update,\u201d said Arteta.<\/p>\n

Arteta also confirmed: \u201cYes, Kai and Jurrien will be out.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about the availability of Martin Odegaard, Arteta was less forthcoming, \u201cLet\u2019s see,\u201d was as far as the Gunners boss would go.<\/p>\n

The Gunners boss was also asked about Kai Havertz\u2019s season, and said:<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been a huge miss – we\u2019re talking about one of the most important attacking players we have, and he\u2019s been out for seven or eight months. Unfortunately, he\u2019s not been the only one with long-term injuries and players who have been missed. The team has shown an incredible capacity to overcome these kinds of scenarios and still be very, very competitive.\u201d<\/p>\n
