    On the comparisons of 21-year-old Johan Manzambi to former Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, Unai Emery said:

    "His adaptation is going quick. He still needs to understand how we want to win a match, but he’s doing things very positive for the team.

    "He can drive and get the ball. He is getting assists and scoring goals.

    "He's more or less similar [to Rogers], but with his own characteristics as a player.

    "He is mature, likes football, responsible and a very good example of the mentality that we need."

    When asked if Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ben Chilwell or Takehiro Tomiyasu have a chance to return: "Potentially. I said the same thing one or two games ago and it wasn't the case. I prefer to wait. At the moment, we hope, we expect, but we don't know."

    Dutch forward Emegha has yet to make his debut for the Blues after joining from Strasbourg in the summer, while Gittens suffered an injury on international duty with England Under-21s.

    On Emegha, Alonso said: "He is not available for tomorrow; he felt something yesterday (Thursday), a little thing. He is going to be training next week but still not 100% fit to be playing in tomorrow's game.

    "When he is fit, he is very special. He is 1.95 metres, is quick, attacks space, and is a threat. Unfortunately, he’s had little things and he hasn’t been available."

We've had to navigate through a few issues in the squad this week, but overall we're in a really good place. Both of those players have been back on the grass this week, so we'll see how much they can do on Saturday."

    On Sepp van den Berg being back on the bench, plus Nathan Collins and Mikkel Damsgaard being back on the grass, last week: "Closer is probably the message with all of them. They fall into the bracket of the players we have got coming back from different injuries. We are fully anticipating them all being involved this weekend."

    "To improve, some decisions have to be taken to put people in the right roles and keep investing to achieve what we want to achieve and all the success we want to create, so that's been explained.

    On Martin Zubimendi's fitness: "Zubi looks much better, he already looked much better today. We have another session tomorrow and after that we will assess whether he is ready for Forest."

    On Christos Tzolis' fitness: "Doing really well. Yesterday he had another MRI scan to see how the injury is evolving. He's progressing really well. Another one we can hopefully have back in a few weeks."

    On William Saliba's progress: "Next week we have another MRI with him to see how the healing process is at the moment but every sign so far has been very, very positive. It will be great to have him."

    So Oliver Glasner is wary of "world-class" Arsenal and now Gunners manager Mikel Arteta is warning about "tough" nut to crack Nottingham Forest:

    "We have responded really well in the last two games, two very good performances and results. Now we just focus on the game against [Nottingham] Forest that I know will be a really tough one.

    "We're going to try really hard to score goals and prevent goals. It's going to be a really tough match, extremely well-coached team. We had that experience in the past and it's a team that at home can create a really special momentum and we are ready for it."

    Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner on the latest team news:

    "[Nicola] Savona will still miss the game and Igor [Jesus] as well. [Nikola] Milenkovic trained [for] the first time today. Let's see now how he reacts. He could be in the match day squad but let's see because he's now out for several weeks.

    "Morgan Gibbs-White is doubtful. He could not train the entire week with us. It looks like he can join tomorrow's session and he had an individual session today. He had a minor muscle injury at [Crystal] Palace. We have to see how he reacts today and deals with tomorrow's session."

    Nottm Forest v Arsenal (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Nottingham Forest

    Oliver Glasner on whether his Nottingham Forest side can play to their strengths against defending champions Arsenal:

    "It's huge credit to Mikel Arteta and Arsenal. It's now a team that has been built over years and always at the beginning finding a core and then always adding the right pieces.

    "It's not just the quality, it's also the mentality in how they play. I think in every game this season they were outrunning the opposition. It's incredible. The effort, the mindset Mikel created there is incredible.

    "This makes it so tough to play against them and you see it from every single player. They have so many world-class players they can react from the bench.

    "It was now in the second consecutive game where the players who came on had a huge impact and this shows the quality they have.

    "This is what we are facing and I think the structure how they are playing, everybody knows and analyses but the way they execute it makes it so difficult."

    Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner on how his side can hurt Arsenal:

    "No team has seven, eight big chances like we had against [Crystal] Palace [against Arsenal] but it's possible to have two or three and then it's on us to be clinical, taking the chances and then you have the chance to win the game."

    On how he encourages his strikers when they'e struggling: "Today the main topic was finishing in training and before the training I just told the players what we're going to do and then I said the one who can explain it best how to deal with this situation is Chris Wood because I don't know how many years [he has been] in the Premier League, and he's scored almost 100 goals in the Premier League.

    "Overall [he's scored] around 200 goals in English football and he had to deal with these situations.

    "You are in a flow and then it seems every chance is a goal and then [you have a run] where you miss some chances.

    "I like what he said to the group. I said he could explain it better than me because I didn't score many goals. I didn't miss many chances because I didn't get many chances.

    "The key message, and I loved it, was 'always be confident, never lose trust in yourself and there's always another one around the corner'.

    "That's exactly how it is and I could see players start to smile and that's how you best to deal with it."

  20. James could return vs Man Utd, Rodon also progressingpublished at 14:45 BST 16 October

    Leeds Utd v Man Utd (Sun, 14:00 BST)

    Leeds United

    In terms of team news, Leeds United head coach Daniel Farke said winger Daniel James has a chance of returning from a back injury, while centre-back Joe Rodon is closing in on a return to full training.

    "Progression, yes. Joe will still miss this game," Farke said on Rodon.

    "We spoke at the beginning of this injury and it would last eight to 10 weeks. I think we’re at week seven, so he’s edging closer. He’s doing good progress, it won’t last too long until he’s back in team training but not yet and also not yet in contention for this upcoming game."

    On James, Farke added: "Daniel James with his back problems also missed games with the national team. Since yesterday he’s back on the pitch with us.

    "Right now, we have to wait to see how his body reacts but at least good news with him that he’s back in training and he seems to be improving.

    "The intensity in the last days was not too high, we have to wait and see how his body reacts in the last two sessions before the game but there’s a chance he’s involved, yes."
