Meeting HighlightsIvan Toney
I am very excited that he will join the team soon. He's training with us. It was nice for all of us, but mainly for Ivan. I know. His focus is to get back and hit the ground running. I'm looking forward to this.
Rico Henry's Absence
We are faced with a welcome challenge that we are doing our best to resolve the left-back situation. Vitaly [Janelt] did very well against Burnley and West Ham and is the best solution at the moment. We will look from match to match.
Arsenal
The team we will face tomorrow is on the rise, but we know that we are good at home and we are not afraid of anyone. The fans definitely need to be involved from the first minute and I will do my best to make sure the players are absolutely involved. I hope we can have a great match.

Mikel Arteta
Manager on ArsenalBrentford
They are a truly formidable opponent; This is a really difficult place. You look at their starts and the games of other clubs that have gone there. They make this extremely difficult. They are really effective, they are managed really well and it will be a tough game tomorrow.
Thomas Frank
With Thomas, with the coaching staff and with the club, I think they are one of the best managed clubs in the league. I have been following them for many years and the work they do, their structures, the processes they implement, the vision they have… what they do with the resources they have is incredible. We owe them a huge debt of gratitude, not only for reaching this level, but for maintaining it through the many changes and the environment this league demands.
200th Match
I'm so proud, so grateful. Many people around me have contributed greatly to me being here for almost four years, so I thank them all very much because they were instrumental in believing in me, inspiring me, making me happy in difficult moments.
