Arteta: Maduaike is absent for a few weeks; Capier will also be out of the groin injury

Hupu September 24th News: In the third round of the League Cup, Arsenal will usher in the match against Port Vier. Before the game, Arsenal coach Arteta attended the press conference, and the Spaniard also talked about his views on the game and the injury of players such as Maduaike.

About Maduaike's injury

Yes, it looks like he's going to be out for a few weeks. We will have to scan his injuries this weekend. He already felt something bad at the beginning of the game against Manchester City, but he tried to move on.

He was very frustrated and very disappointed because he was in such a good state. His absence was a big trouble for us.

About Inkapier's injury

He suffered a little injury to the groin. We will have to see how his injury will develop. He will be absent for a short time. The good news about Odegao

is that Odegao's injury is almost gone and he will return to the field within a few days.

About Havertz?

For Havertz's case, we know this will be a few months of recovery time. So far, his recovery steps are very good.

When asked if there is a deeper reason behind the injury

Yes, we certainly conducted a comprehensive analysis of all the situations. Maduaike's injury was purely bad luck; Havertz's experience was also very unfortunate; Ben White's situation was similar; Odgao was even more special - he injured his shoulder twice in the same battle, which was extremely rare; and Saka's hamstring problem was more muscular.

Perhaps we need to study these situations more deeply, and in fact we have devoted ourselves to this analysis and minimize the impact of injury as much as possible - that is exactly where we continue to work.

The outside world thinks that Arsenal plays cautiously

I don't think it is because I won't read these comments myself, but (my press officer) will tell me the outside world about the direction of discussion. If you say this is the mainstream view, then I have to say--judgmented by my expertise, my understanding of football and how the game is analyzed, it would be a huge surprise if I was really surprised by it. Because some people can predict that Arsenal will dominate the entire 96 minutes against Guardiola's team, which has never happened in his 17-year coaching career.

If public opinion tries to lead the topic in other directions, such as the ‘another dominance’ discussed now - then, if the team really plays with the ‘handbrake’ as some people say, how can it be suppressed against such an opponent? ‘Dominate’ and ‘handbrake’ are completely opposite concepts. But I can accept all voices and continue to learn and look at different perspectives from a more open perspective.

The matches about Kepa and against Port Vier

Yes, there will be a lot of players playing in this game. Kepa has been preparing for the team together, and he has excellent attitude and role support for the team in all aspects.

About the reactions of the old players when young player Daoman used "piercing the crotch" in training

At the beginning, the old players' reactions were very direct - kicked back! (Laughs) But this is indeed the scene when it first happened. To be honest, Daoman performed very well. After being fouled, he immediately stood up and continued to join the next confrontation. You can clearly feel that the actions taken by this child, who was only 14 years old last year, on an adult player at some moments, were completely beyond his age.

And now, everyone really likes him. You can't help but want to hug him and help him. He is a very good kid and has a very popular reputation here. It is a responsibility for us to take care of such talented players. All we have to do is make sure we do our best to provide him with the best environment to grow and to fully demonstrate his talent. That's all. "
