“There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.”

Under that lens, the headline figure collapses. Arsenal’s ‘28 injuries’ become 14, half the number, just 2.8% above last season – and crucially, not the highest total in the PL.

Reiss Nelson faces a late fitness test...

'Reiss is doing pretty well. He took a knock a week or so ago, so we'll see how he shapes up for Sunday. He should be in and around being available for Sunday. We'll see how he goes over the next few days.'

Nelson is expected to miss out again... speaking after the loss to Spurs, Andrews said.

'Reiss picked up an injury last weekend, vs Burnley, a slight knock, so that was enforced. We'll see how he is in the next week or so, and then we'll have a better idea about how he is.'

On Robinson...

'It is [only] a matter of time... We have another session tomorrow. We are going to see, but last week was a good week for him in terms of individual working.'

Raul Jimenez will be a late decision... the striker has been ill this week.
🎙️ Marco Silva. #FFC

Team news... on Sessegnon.

'It's getting better, but [he is] not at the point that he is going to be in contention. It is the type of situation that we have to see day-to-day, and to see how he is going to react. It is not something very serious...'

More on Daniel Muñoz...

'The prognosis is four to six weeks. Then he should be ready to play. But again, always when you have to undergo surgery, you never know. That's why I'm always a little bit cautious, but it doesn't look too serious.'
🎙️ Glasner. #CPFC #UCEL

On Munoz and Mateta...

'They stayed at home. It's bad news. We will miss Dani for a few weeks; he will undergo surgery. It doesn't look so serious.'

'JP will rest. We have to manage his knee. The plan is that he will return to training on Friday, and then he should be OK.'

Chalobah and Fernandez were being managed in Bergamo...

'Trev and Enzo are both playing every minute in every game, so they were not 100 per cent. Also, Trev had a yellow card, and we wanted to avoid any problems with that, so those are the reasons why we changed them.'
🎙️ Maresca. #CFC

The loss to Atalanta was compounded after Fofana picked up an injury.

'The change of Tosin was because we needed to change Wes, so that was forced on us...'

'Wes has a problem in his eye. In this moment, it is quite bad. But hopefully, he can be OK and available for Saturday.'

On Rice, Saliba and Trossard...

'Declan was quite sick after the [Villa] game, and he hasn't travelled. William is still not available, and Leo again picked another knock in an area where he had the issue - I don't expect that it's going to be long, but unfortunately, he cannot be here.'
🎙️ Arteta #AFC #UCL

On Jesus replacing Dowman in the UCL squad.

'Unfortunately, Max picked up an injury. He did some scans, & he is going to be out for wks. Gabi has been pushing - he kept telling everybody, 'I am going to be earlier'. So, thanks to his work, we had the possibility to make a swap.'

Basanovic, the striker's agent, tells Slovenian outlet Arena Sport that Sesko is nearing a return.

Mo Salah will not face Inter…
