Prior to Arsenal’s match against Nottingham Forest, Mikel Arteta spoke to the media and acknowledged that the Gunners needed to start the Premier League season strong.
Arteta was questioned about the circumstance surrounding his team’s failure to field Jorginho for the Community Shield. The manager of Arsenal responded with optimism despite the Italian international’s absence due to a minor muscular issue.
Yes, according to Arteta, “I believe everyone is available.” The rest should be fine, although Mo [Elneny] is out and Gabriel Jesus has a knee issue.
When questioned by Gabriel Jesus, the Spaniard gave a positive yet sensible response. The interval since the procedure was mentioned by Arteta.
“It’s still a little early. Not quite two weeks have passed since the surgery. Hopefully he can begin working next week.
To be honest, he’s doing extremely well. However, we’re going to proceed with caution and ensure that he returns in the proper manner.
Football.london questioned Gabriel Jesus on his comeback after the Community Shield victory over Man City. In response, the Brazilian said, “Good, good.”
While Arteta has Kai Havertz, Eddie Nketiah, and Leandro Trossard as options, it appears that he is still some time away from a starting position. We will learn the outcome on Saturday. All three have put up strong performances and staked out their claims for the position.
