Gabriel had GRADE ONE tear against West Ham... BIG FIGHT not to play him! Mikel Arteta embargo 🤯

Mikel Arteta reveals the extent of defender Gabriel's injury and says he's faced 'a big fight' not to play him since he sustained the injury against West Ham a few weeks ago. TIMESTAMPS 00:00 - Much bigger squads needed?: logically if we demand the players to play more, the solution is more players. 00:52 - Harder for you?: Players will start the season after surgical interventions, that brings uncertainty. 01:25 - Has these injuries been building up?: For a while. These competitions are all adding up. The pressure is increasing. We have to be very conscious. 02:12 - How many players in a squad do you think you’ll need?: The number is important but it’s just a number. 03:08 - Eighty percent player Timber: That’s difficult to do, White is much better. 03:36 - Timber and white to start and finish: I can’t say anything. 03:59 - Looking at changes: We cannot look ahead at one game for the load. We have to understand tricky situations. 04:31 - Summer transfer plans: We’re very conscious of that. 05:08 - Key players not starting every game next season?: I don’t know how we’re going to do it. Gabriel had a grade 1 tear against West Ham and he wanted to play. There’s elements we can’t control. 06:42 - How do you make these decisions: The players come to me, then these things happen. You try to car for the players. 07:17 - Long term consequences: I know, my knee, my ankle, my hip. 07:44 - Building player connections: That’s our job as well, we need to build those. 08:13 - The people at the club will deal with the organisations to put the plan forward. 08:31 - Favourite Goodison memory: I have many.
