• Martin Odegaard exited with a shoulder issue similar to his previous problem, and Arteta said he will be assessed with the captain aiming to be ready for Tuesday.
• William Saliba trained but told Arteta he needed a few more days after his recent knock, and Cristhian Mosquera drew praise for stepping in.
• Declan Rice started on the bench by design as Arteta rewarded Mikel Merino's international form, noting the Spain midfielder's recent scoring surge.
• Ethan Nwaneri replaced Odegaard early and Rice featured as a second-half substitute, with Athletic Club next in the Champions League on Tuesday.
