Arteta confirmed: Gabe will be out for a few weeks due to injury, and someone will step up in our defense

Hupu News November 21 In the early morning of the 24th, the 12th round of the Premier League will usher in a focus match in the North London Derby, when Arsenal will meet Tottenham's challenge at the Emirates Stadium. At a press conference on the eve of the game, Arsenal coach Arteta talked about the team's preparations and responded to some issues of great concern to fans and media.

Gabriel's injury

Unfortunately, Gabriel is injured and will be out for several weeks. We plan to arrange further tests on him next Wednesday, at which time a clearer timetable for recovery will be established. Gabriel is the core figure of our defense. His absence is definitely not good news. Now someone has to step up and take responsibility.

Calafioli

Calafioli was unable to play for the team before. He had some minor health problems, so we could only let him rest. He has not participated in training yet. We will arrange a training session tomorrow and we will see how he is doing.

North London Derby

It feels great to play at home. We know the impact of every move the team makes. This game requires more emotion, but not too impulsive. The game requires us to pay more than other games in handling every ball and every action. We need to have a really good game on Sunday.

Rooney said Dzekeresh is the top three players in Arsenal

I am very happy for Rooney to give such an evaluation. This is not only because Dzhekeresh has not scored enough goals, but also because of his contribution to the team and how he creates attacking space for his teammates.

Manchester City is chasing after us

Not everyone will go all out to win every game. We must play well one game at a time. This game on Sunday will be an exciting matchup for everyone.

There will be a big war in the coming week.

We are well prepared and understand the importance of this week. We hope all the players stay healthy, or most of the players stay healthy, so we can start building momentum.

Injuries and schedule

Injuries are an inevitable part of football. An intensive schedule may cause more injuries. We must accept this reality.

Jesus

Jesus is currently in very good condition and has been training with the team for the past two weeks. We will give him some opportunities in internal competitions.

Saka's contract

I know he wants to stay in the team, and this is where he wants to play. The specific contract details are handled by Berta and others.

Eze almost joined Tottenham

I'm not sure about the final situation, but when I communicated with Eze, I felt that he wanted to join us. Things are going really well and I'm really pleased with how he's doing so far.

Odegaard had more freedom on the court before his injury

The addition of new players has brought new ways of cooperation and attack. We must allow these new changes to fully develop. When we learn a lot from them, we can do the same when Odegaard comes back.

The recovery status of the six injured players before the international break

I am optimistic about their recovery. Now they have reached the final stage of recovery and need to conduct contact training and do some unpredictable movements. I feel like they'll be back in the team soon, but not sure if they'll be back on Sunday.

Is Gabriel irreplaceable?

No, every player has his or her own unique characteristics. Gabriel has his leadership and defensive passion, but someone has to step up and we've done that many times in the past.

Suwemendi's ranking among midfielders

I feel that all my players are the best and it is not fair to compare them with other players.

Ben White's lack of playing time

There was a time before we didn't play him, but now he is in better shape and we have to choose players based on the opponent's situation. He has to train hard so he's ready when the opportunity comes.

Tierney scored for Scotland

I am particularly happy for Tierney and for all the Scots. I like their enthusiasm and the way they treat others.
