Mikel Arteta says Arsenal will decide whether Declan Rice is fit enough to face Aston Villa after the midfielder came off injured against Brentford. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Intro. 00:07 Rice - let’s see. We have another training session. 00:25 - Mosquera: more complicated. We had another test with him. 00:40 - Saliba and Trossard: a matter of days. 01:13 - Out of hand football calendar: we don’t have to get to that stage. Anything to help the players let’s do it. 01:44 - Villa: certainly a team in great form. We know the task tomorrow. 02:17 - Emery: you look at his career. His impact at clubs has been remarkable. 03:00 - message to league if you win: We’ll go back to the same message next week. We need to take it every game. 03:27 - We have to focus on performing. We know the kind of game we’re going to play. 03:47 - Mosquera: Ankle. 04:02 - Calafiori on 4 yellows: Something we factor in. 04:31 - Ollie Watkins: collective threat they have and the individual qualities. 05:00 - manager mind games with you?: each manager gives you opinions. 05:09 - Villa title charge?: Look where they are. Any club has chances. 05:38 - Squad the best one to give us the best opportunities. Is it what I want? No because of the injuries. Very happy with dealing with situations. 06:34 - Big squads or dropping out of competitions for rest: hopefully we don’t get to that point. 06:47 - Saliba and Trossard: we’ll know more after training. 07:02 - Merino to stay as striker?: he’s earned a thought, so that’s a yes. 07:25 - Havertz and Merino: They can play together. Same as Viktor and Jesus. 07:56 - difficult conversations: we haven’t had those yet. It’s the other one when someone comes in and doesn’t perform so won’t play after. 08:40 - Leaving players out of squad: I hope we’re in that position, for the freshness of the team. A problem clubs are used to. 09:00 - worried for Mosquera: we need to collaborate with the other tests we do. 09:22 - January window: we always need to prepare, to protect the squad we need to
