Arsenal Team News<\/h3>\n

In the pre-match press conference<\/span><\/a>, Arteta discussed the latest team news and said: \u201cNot much at the moment, we still have a few days till Monday, so we\u2019ll have to wait and see how certain players evolve and whether they are available or not.\u201d<\/p>\n

Addressing the focus of the team, the Gunners boss said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe team is really present, it\u2019s just living the moment, it\u2019s emotionally in a really good state, I think, it\u2019s the right one. We have most players available now. OK, we lost Ben [White] the other day, but the other ones are coming back as well. Everybody is so enthusiastic and so positive about the way that we can finish the season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Arteta also spoke about the injury to Ben White and his chances of making the World Cup: \u201cWe have to wait and see, it looks like a long-term injury. At the moment, the focus is that can we have him back and be available for Arsenal and that\u2019s not going to happen in many, many weeks,\u201d said Arteta.<\/p>\n
