Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta spoke about the position of his players and the status of injured players in the fourth round of the English Cup in the match against Wigan Athletic.
Idman.Biz reports that the Spanish specialist explained why winger Bukayo Saka played in the center, and also shared his thoughts on injured defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Ben White.
"Why did Saka play in the center? This is one of the options and I wanted to see how it would work. We may use it in the future. There are still many games, various tournaments and scenarios in the season, and this is one of the options we have.
Calafiori's status? He and Ben are in question. We have to wait and see how things develop in the next 48 hours," said Arteta.
