📣 Arteta on Auba, Partey fitness plus Lacazette contract | OneFootball

Arsenal are 10 games unbeaten in all competitions as they head to Anfield on Saturday.

Here’s what Mikel Arteta had to say ahead of the game.

On Smith Rowe’s England bow

“I am extremely happy for him. He really enjoyed it. I saw him yesterday and he was really happy to score for his country. He made us proud. To see him and Bukayo starting for the national team is a great thing for the club.”

On if Aubameyang will be fit

“We had to assess him and see how he is and make decisions. We have a lot of players who have been through different game issues.”

On Partey’s recovery

“He couldn’t play for the national team. He really tried to do that and pushed for that one but wasn’t enough. Again that’s something we have to assess because until today he hasn’t done enough.”

On a new contract for Lacazette

“There is so much talk. What I can say is that I am really happy with Laca.

“We’re not going to be talking about any of that until the end of the season”

On if Elneny will be sold

“Again I cannot go into that. I’m really happy with Mo. I will not be discussing the individual fates of the players as it’s not the time to do so.”
