Arteta offers updates to Saka & Calafiori, not sure whether Jorginho will play this season – Arsblog News

According to Mikel Areta, Bukayo Saka should be available for the morning with Crystal Palace, even though he needs an ice cream bag on the ankle after being replaced late Sunday against Ipswich Town.

The English international was rattled by Leif Davis from behind – a challenge in which the defense lawyer showed a straight red card, but was able to continue after a long treatment of the medical team.

While Areta suggested that Saka avoided serious injuries, he offered another update in his press conference before the game.

“We now have to wait and see how he reacts after the (training) session, but nothing is too serious,” he said.

“If we want to choose it, we will have a good chance tomorrow to play tomorrow.”

Updates of the fitness of Riccardo Calafiori and Jorginho were not so encouraging. While Calafiori, who was equipped with a knee problem, is approaching a return, Jorginho – who has suffered a rib injury to Brentford – could be outside for a while.

“Riccy is over and unfortunately Jorginho too,” confirmed the boss. “I think Jorginho will be outside for a few weeks.”

When asked whether the Italian international will play again this season, Areta continued: “I hope it, but I’m not sure. We have to see how it will develop in the next few days.

“I would say for a few weeks (he’s outside). The doctor was still pretty careful to talk about all data. So let’s see.

“The good news is that it improves. He feels much better. It was a fairly scary situation and it is now in a good place.”

Jorginho was strongly associated with a change to the Brazilian side Flamengo before the World Cup. If he continues to fight for fitness, you have to ask yourself whether this could end up in danger.

In England, the defense lawyer in England, has been thinking about Calafiori’s first season in England for five different occasions since he was put together from Bologna, said Arteta:

“Three of the injuries, obviously they are impact injuries. One is a really bad turn that would have worse to be fair.

“And it’s also about managing the player. Now we learn a lot more things about the player and how we can be much more about certain situations to prevent them.

“But it is true that the two most important, they have really unhappy and very little that we could have done differently.”

Areta also revealed that the association decided not to risk Thomas Party against Ipswich, even though it was added to the squad at the weekend. It was generally assumed that Areta solved the Ghanaer with his midfield options in view of his suspension from the upcoming first leg of the Champions of the Champions League with PSG.

“The reason for this (his absence) was that Thomas was not available to start the game,” he said.

“In the end we didn’t even choose to play because he didn’t feel particularly good. W.I have some options (in midfield). We had the opportunity to experiment with one, But we have others well. “

Areteta played a straight racket with regard to calm players who did not capture the European double head header defined a season ago.

“We cannot think in these terms. I think if the players are fit and are available and they want to play, they have to play, ”he said.

“You are best when you play and you have Consistency in their services and PThey are good, they are emotional, they are good Your understanding and rhythm and the way you make decisions are in top form. And that’s why we need the players.

“If you are not available, there is no discussion. And if you are not in good condition to carry out, We won’t play them. But if you are, we will play them. “

When it was suggested that Areteta might have a big regret if one of his star players knocked tomorrow and missed the PSG games, he continued: “I mean we have the players we have. IF I think all the time in these terms, I couldn’t play players. “

For his part, Crystal Palace will make some changes to his usual start-Xi with an eye in the FA Cup semi-final on Saturday with Aston Villa in Wembley. However, manager Oliver Glasner made it clear that they were easy touches without wholesale.

“We have to see what is best and which players are in the best form, but that doesn’t mean that we will make 10 changes tomorrow,” said Glasner about his own press conference before the game.

“Maybe we change two or three, but that’s not because we appreciate the Saturday game more than the game of tomorrow.”

He added: “The fans deserve to see the best teams and we will play with the best team tomorrow.”
