London's "Arsenal" club head coach Mikel Arteta did not hide his joy after the 2:0 victory against "Brentford" regarding the excellent performance of Ben White. The replacement of Declan Rice and the loss of existing defenders:

"B. White's dedication was very positive and good. When you have the opportunity, you take it.”

I am very happy that the "Gunners" have him back in their best version. We will need him because he is an incredible player.”

"D. Rice had to be substituted... he can walk, but he cannot play. The Englishman has played a lot of minutes.”

This time the midfielder played in Wednesday's match and we have to play early on Saturday. If they could just give the "Arsenal" team more time to recover, that would be very good.”

"We lost Gabriel, then we lost William Saliba... now Christian Mosquera has also suffered an injury.

We have to wait and see everything. It is probably related to the knee or thigh. We do not know.

He could not accurately say how he feels, but the Spaniard could not continue the match.”

London's "Arsenal" club is in first place in the English Championship with 33 points.
