Arteta said: “He got injured in the same area, not exactly the same spot but the same area as before. He will miss the next few matches.
“He did incredibly well [in training before Spurs match] and he was very confident.

“We tested him three times and he had zero symptoms, but in football you have a lot of unpredictable actions.”
What have they said?
Arteta said on Arsenal’s poor run of results: “It’s strange to say but we played much better against Spurs than what we did against Manchester United. Against Manchester United, we scored a penalty and won 1-0.
“We had an incredible performance but then we lost the derby 2-0 so obviously we cannot talk about that because we have lost the game.
“We cannot be so analytical just with one thing in the work that we do because there are many other factors that contribute. But obviously we are here to win football matches and that’s the only thing that people see at the end.” More
