On the positive side, Arteta expressed his satisfaction with the performance of the young players who were given opportunities during the US tour.
"I'm really pleased with all of them. They performed and responded incredibly well. So that's something that we take from the tour as well, that we have a lot of talent there that we want to use and they showed that they are very much pushing to earn the right to play with us," he said.

Regarding the club's new signing, Riccardo Calafiori, who was absent from the matchday squad, Arteta explained, "We had to manage him. He had a very busy 48 hours before his flight.
"Then it was the jetlag and he hasn’t trained with the team yet. We want to build him slowly, to get to know him first. We will have plenty of time to see him."
