Arteta: I love the players we have, and this is what we focus on

Mikel Arteta, the head coach of Arsenal, spoke about his team's preparations for the upcoming match against Chelsea in the London derby. He also addressed the condition of several players, the transfer market, Gabriel Martinelli's departure, and his relationship with Xabi Alonso during his press conference.

Regarding Bruno Guimarães' condition, he said: "He suffered a knock in the last match against Aston Villa, and he is currently being evaluated. We hope he will be fine for training tomorrow."

Regarding Cristhian Mosquera's readiness: "It was more precautionary than anything else, so we need to see how he is in tomorrow's training."

Regarding the possibility of Ezri Konsa starting: "He is definitely available in the squad, so we will see when we choose the lineup."

Regarding Timber's return: "He is in very good shape at the moment, having spent several weeks on the pitch and training with us, so he is in a very good position."

Regarding his potential participation against Chelsea: "We will make the decision again tomorrow after the training."

Regarding William Saliba's return date: "We don't really know how many weeks he will be out, as it depends on the recovery process, and each case is slightly different. We know we have to respect certain timelines, and his development has been very positive over the past few weeks, but we have to wait and see how his condition responds when we start to increase the physical load on him."

Regarding the possibility of including Saliba in the UEFA Champions League squad: "Yes, it was easy, and we had the space to do it as well."

"It's the same, and we don't decide that. I think we all know that we had to make a decision about when we wanted to close the transfer market, and now it's done, and it's completely clear the formations of all the teams and where every player is."

Regarding the failure to complete some transfers: "I think every moment and every situation is different, sometimes we need to act because something unexpected happens as well, and we must be ready for that, I think every case is different."

Regarding the possibility of Ethan Nwaneri's return in January: "We'll see. Ethan's focus now is to go and play at an amazing club, the system, and having the UEFA Champions League ahead of him, along with all this talent at Dortmund, and then we'll see what happens."

On facing Chelsea's attacking line: "Stopping them will clearly be the team's responsibility, more than just a defensive one."

Regarding Arsenal's attacking options: "What I can say is that I love the players we have, that is for sure."

Speaking about Bukayo Saka's level: "He has been very reliable so far during the first two weeks, and I don't know how many weeks we still have ahead of us."

Regarding his relationship with Xabi Alonso: "I spoke to him before, but yes, I am very happy for him, it is amazing, because we obviously have the history that connects us, the same goes for Andoni Iraola, and to face each other at this level, with the responsibility we have in managing some of the biggest clubs in the country, it is very beautiful to experience this."

Regarding Chelsea's potential signing of Emiliano Martínez: "No. Of course, I know Emi very well, he was a top-class goalkeeper with us here, it is clear what he will bring to the team, and I think it is a very smart deal."

Speaking about Arsenal's world-class strikers, he said: "I love my players, that's what I can say. As for the ranking you want to put them in, I don't know. I think at the end of the season we will place everyone in their position, and we have to trust them, we have to make sure that we stand completely behind them, and do everything we can to help the amazing talents they have."

Regarding Gabriel Martinelli's departure: "With all gratitude, it has been a pleasure to work with him and to be part of this journey with him. The Martinelli I met at the beginning and the Martinelli who has just left, there is a huge transformation between them, both personally and professionally. I believe the impact he has had at the club, his ambition, his love for the game, and the way he helped us develop and achieve our goals, all of that has been extremely important. He has been a pivotal player, the story ends here, and we wish him all the best in a different story; this is part of football."
