Yesterday we didn’t train. He hasn’t trained with us yet. We have an extra day. We train this afternoon. Let’s see if he can be available for that.””It remains the same [a matter of days]. If you ask me for the Everton game, I think he will be fit. For tomorrow, I don’t know.”Arteta, however, did not confirm the availability of Jurrien Timber, Declan Rice, and Leandro Trossard, all of whom missed the recent midweek win over Club Brugge
