Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta appeared at a press conference to discuss tomorrow's match against Nottingham Forest in the fourth round of the Premier League.

He began by discussing the signing of Hincapié on the last day of the transfer window: "He is a player we have wanted for several years. With the departure of Jakub Kiwior, we needed another player in this position. He has great experience for his age, and we are very happy to have him with us. He is ready to participate; he has trained with us for two days and successfully completed the international break with the Argentina national team."

He added about renewing Saka and Saliba's contracts: "This work never stops. The positive thing is that the players want to stay here and be an important part of the club's future. Their agent is talking to the sporting director, Andrea Berta, who is leading these negotiations."

Regarding Kai Havertz's injury: "Kai seems to be in very good condition. He walks normally and has started doing some training. The decision to undergo surgery was very difficult for him, but it was the right decision. He has started to put weight on his knee and is working gradually for the coming days and weeks. I cannot specify a timeline for his return."

He added about Gabriel Jesus: "He underwent major surgery, and it was clear that it would require several months of recovery. After discussing the surgery and his readiness date, we decided that the goal is for him to return in December or January. He will start training with the team in December."

On the state of the team, he concluded: "Bukayo Saka is still out of the squad; he is working hard to return as soon as possible, but we must respect this process. William Saliba trained today, as did Ben White; Saliba trained today, so we need to make a decision about whether to include him or not. This is very good news, and Nørgaard is also ready to play."

He concluded about Liverpool: "Well, they are definitely the strongest. They have probably signed some of the most decisive players in Europe in the transfer market, including Alexander Isak; they have really done well in securing him."
