The Spanish coach also revealed that: “Arsenal have a lot of injury concerns on their move to Manchester United as Oleksandr Zinchenko has to miss out on a trip to Old Trafford because he hasn’t trained with the team, but I hope the English goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and Norwegian Martin will be able to move to Ödegaard after Saturday practice and hopefully they will be able to train with the team.”
“Unfortunately Nigerian Alex Iwobi, who is still unable to train with the team after missing two matches, with the team, unfortunately, this is the situation we are going through,” Arteta added.
