"Today, we had a meeting with the players to close all the possibilities to bring more players.
"We only have three players - Carl Jenkinson, David Ospina and Joel Campbell - with the possibility to leave.

"But the other players are with us and we are going to work in the Emirates the day before the match with all the players.

"Only two young players are going to play tomorrow with the Under-23s against Manchester City away; Emile Smith-Rowe and Eddie Nketiah.

"The others, they are with us and tomorrow we decide the group for going to the hotel and also the first XI and the first 18 players."

"Today, Nacho Monreal began to train with the team. As well, Danny Welbeck has come in this week but on Sunday it will be early to start playing him.


"The other players are OK and we are working on the possibility to work with Ainsley [Maitland-Niles], who has experience in this [left-back] position.

"We want to give him confidence. I'm not sure because I am going to decide on the first XI, but Ainsley is the player who started the last match against Lazio."
