At 0:30 am on August 24, in the second round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Arsenal will face Leeds United at home. Before the game, Gunners coach Arteta attended the press conference and talked about some of the current situation of the team....
About Havertz
—Well, he certainly cannot play, and we don't know the specific situation. We need more time to check him more. I don't want to talk about the specific details, we will decide what to do next. I don't know at the moment, but the fact is that he will not be able to play tomorrow.
Let's talk about Havertz
-He is in a good mental state, strong, devoted, and recovers well. Now that he has encountered setbacks, we have to see how serious it is.
About Norgo and Ben White
-Norgo will not be on the roster, as for Ben White, we need to see his reaction. Noelgao will be absent for about a week.
Yorcres played 60 minutes against Manchester United
- Well, it depends on the progress of the game, and each game will bring different challenges and different opportunities. Our decision at the time was that he had done enough to change the game with Havertz.
About Eze
--Nothing to say, you know I will never talk about a player who doesn't belong to our team or our club.
About Maduaike
-Yes, he is a very creative player who can open up the offensive situation. He can create space in other positions and bring more creativity to the team.
About Timber
—In the case of Timber, we need to manage his training load because he has been absent for a long time. Our training time this week was very long, and in order to arrange the load reasonably, we decided to reduce the amount of training a little.
About working with Berta
—He is very attentive and firm, and I enjoyed working with him.
About Raya
-He is very brave. You may not be the highest, but you can be very brave. He is a super athlete, very dynamic and agile, and he can seize the opportunity very well.
Is this transfer window a statement?
- I think we are showing our ambition to come here to win important trophys, which comes with the requirements, which I think are very clear. We want to lead, not to fall behind and chase, but to lead!
New contract on Trosad
- I tend not to answer because it is not my duty, the situation has been resolved in a very good way and I am very happy to have him. I'm very determined to hope he stays here.
Regarding the transfer market, did you react after Havertz was injured? Or have you always wanted to do this?
- I think I made it clear that we have not finished our work yet, we are looking to do something. We are not responding to anything, we decide what we want to do before.
