Gabriel & Havertz fitness UPDATES! | Mikel Arteta | Arsenal v Brighton

Mikel Arteta issues updates on the fitness of defender Gabriel and striker Kai Havertz ahead of the clash against Brighton tomorrow. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 Martinelli has suffered a knock. Hincapie picked up a different injury against Everton. 0:25 Brighton are a club I admire a lot. They’ve achieved so much over the last 10 years. They are a really committed team. Versatile players. 0:59 We need to prepare for what’s coming. I will get some time with my family over the coming days which is great. It’s a joy and a pleasure to be playing at this level, in this country with all the traditions. 1:31 We bought Calafiori for his versatility at full back and at centre back. His availability has been really good this season. He was very good tonight. 2:26 Kai Havertz? It will be a matter of days. He’s a player that we’ve missed a lot. Really happy to have him back very soon. 2:49 Gabriel hasn’t trained yet but hopefully he’ll be back as quickly as possible. We know the situation that we currently have in defence. 3:05 Jesus is very fit. We’ve been increasing his minutes gradually. Very happy to have him back. 3:38 Declan Rice’s red card against Brighton last season? I was very p*ssed off, in the manner that we had to play with 10 men. Hopefully it will be very different this time. 3:56 Not so many red cards this season? The rules are different now. We paid a big price with that rule last season. Hopefully we can continue to play with 11 players. 4:20 Top of the fair play league? I didn’t know. That’s very good. 4:29 Quadruple? I’m thinking about going home. Have some rest. Enjoy one day and then start to prepare for Brighton. 4:52 Winning mentality? It’s great! Happy Christmas to everybody and see you soon. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
