Arteta discussed the possibility of players returning from injury, including Riccardo Calafiori, Jorginho, and Kai Havertz. He will assess the team's readiness for the match and decide who to start and who to substitute.
Jorginho is recovering well from his injury and may return to the team within a few weeks. Havertz may also return before the end of the season if everything goes as planned.
Arteta was asked about Liverpool's title win, which he found tough to take, but he acknowledged that they were the more consistent team throughout the season. He emphasized that there is still much to play for in the Champions League and Premier League, and the team's focus is on those competitions.
The manager also brushed off the Supercomputer's predictions, which gave Arsenal a 99.6% chance of finishing in the top five. He emphasized the importance of earning the right to win each match and being better than their opponents.
Arteta will use the time leading up to the PSG match to congratulate Liverpool on their title win, which he believes they deserve. He praised their consistency and commitment to winning big trophies over the past decade.
As the team prepares for the Bournemouth match, Arteta will discuss with his players how to focus on the present and not dwell on the upcoming PSG game. He emphasized the importance of controlling their performances and emotional state, rather than getting distracted by the bigger picture.
