Arsenal are preparing to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League this weekend. The Gunners suffered a heartbreaking loss against Aston Villa last weekend.
Emi Buendia scored with the last kick of the game to secure the win for Unai Emery’s side. But Arsenal turned things around in their Champions League against Club Brugge.
They beat the Belgian side 3-0. Now, they will be preparing for their Premier League game. Manchester City are now just two points below them.
Pep Guardiola’s team will take on Crystal Palace on Sunday. So, Arsenal will get a chance to restore their five-point advantage if they can dispatch the struggling Wolves.
Mikel Arteta sat down for the pre-match press conference for the Wolves game, where he gave injury updates on Arsenal players. While giving an update on William Saliba, the Arsenal boss said:
“We have to wait and see, yesterday we didn’t train, so we have an extra day between this afternoon, let’s see if he can be available or not.
“It remains the same. If you asked me for the Everton game, I think he will be fit; for tomorrow, I don’t know.”
For Jurrien Timber, who missed the Champions League game against Club Brugge, Arteta said:
“I think it’s a matter of days, but whether it’s tomorrow or not we’ll see.”
The Arsenal boss also gave an update on Leandro Trossard by saying:
“Again, another one that is a matter of days. It sounds boring, but it’s the reality, so we don’t know.”
Declan Rice also missed the game against Club Brugge. This is what Arteta had to say about Rice:
“He was ill, that’s an illness, normally in a few days it gets resolved, but we have to wait and see.”
It is obvious that Mikel Arteta will have a selection headache heading into the Wolves games this weekend.
