Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on taking defender Gabriel Magalhaes off at half-time against West Ham:

It was related to the previous injury he had in Lisbon. He did great to be a part of that. With that result and the state he is feeling, we decided to take him off.

On having to manage his squad with second-half substitutions, Arteta added: "Yeah, very important. We had an issue with Gabby and then an issue with Ricci as well.

"We knew before the game we were going to make substitutions because of the state of players.

"Obviously yesterday we lost Thomas [Partey] and Mikel [Merino] and Myles [Lewis-Skelly] which was very bad news but what I am really happy about is Jakub has to come in, he does really well, Alex the same, Jorginho I think he was exceptional. That’s the level, every three days we’re going to need everyone at their best and it’s a good sign the team can do that. I am very pleased."

On Bukayo Saka's fitness: "He's fine."

On taking off Ricardo Calafiori, he said: "Well, he’s been dealing with little niggles in the last few weeks, obviously, he’s had a very serious knee injury and he’s doing really well but we have to manage his minutes. Today we have to do the same."
