• He described the situation as "far from ideal" and said it was the first time this had happened in seven years as Arsenal manager
• It is understood both players will miss Tuesday's Lille tie but Arteta could not give a timeframe on their return, adding that both faced scans today
• Gabriel spoke about missing the decisive spot-kick in last season's Champions League final defeat to Paris St-Germain, saying that he would step up to take a penalty again, if the opportunity arose

Mikel Arteta has given more clarity about how Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi got injured after Arsenal's win against Leeds on Saturday.

The Gunners had planned for the players who did not play a full game or had not had minutes in the 2-1 win to train at the Emirates Stadium so that all of the squad could have a recovery day on Sunday, to get them ready to train on Monday.

Arteta, who says it was done to get "everybody in the best rhythm" revealed that both players have picked up ankle injuries with Hincapie's more serious than Zubimendi's but both players have further scans planned.

The Arsenal manager called the incident "far from ideal" but it's something that has "never happened in the seven years I have been here" and said that his Arsenal side trained that way "37 times" last season.

Arteta regularly arranges for the players who have not played a full match to take part in a small sided game on the pitch and this is how Hincapie and Zubimendi picked up the injuries.

The manager does this so that all of the players have a similar output and when they are navigating their busy fixture schedule.

Substitute goalkeeper Illan Meslier was seen to be carrying Hincapie off the pitch on his back even though there were staff members present.

And this is something that Arteta does not seem to be happy about, saying: "that's something else, not to discuss here".

A final word from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on getting back into another Champions League final after last season's defeat to Paris St-Germain on penalties: "You have to earn the right to get in that position again. We know how tough it is. It has never been done [won the Champions League] in the history of our club so we have to realise that.

"Tomorrow we are going to have a really tough opponent in front of us. They are very well coached. What he [Davide Ancelotti] has done is remarkable - you just have to see the way they are competing and playing in Ligue 1."

Arsenal defender Gabriel on Brazil teammate Bruno Guimaraes joining Arsenal : "He's a real nice guy and I'm really happy to have him with us. When he told me maybe he can come to Arsenal I just said and pushed him to join us 'you're going to enjoy this club' and we are really happy to have him and I think he's enjoying himself here."

Arsenal defender Gabriel on why he joined Arsenal: "I think when they called me, the project they had at the club make me really happy and my family as well and that's why I'm here. I'm really happy at this club and that's why I think I made a good choice. Of course, I am here six years now so I am really happy I chose this club and I want to achieve a lot of things here and win a lot of trophies."

On Mikel Arteta's contract extension: "Every week I say thank you to Mikel and how he pushed me and the team, how he wants to win and the spirit he has and I think he pushed everyone. He's of course the boss but I think he gives a lot of confidence to us to play games and enjoy every time we are on the pitch. We are really happy to have him."

On how he's grown since joining Arsenal: "I think I've changed a lot since I arrived at Arsenal and I think Mikel is the pillar of us. He helps me everyday with this club and everyday he tries to push me to be my best and like I say, he's a pillar for me and I'm here and I enjoy myself here."

Arsenal defender Gabriel on playing alongside Ezri Konsa: "It's nice that he's arrived at Arsenal. I think he's adapted really quickly and he is a top player. I will enjoy to play with him, of course we have the best centre-backs at Arsenal and we want to increase the level. Since he's arrived he's played and I think he did well."

He added: "Like I said he adapted really quickly with us, we know his quality and of course it's different with us because with Saliba we've played together three, four years so we improve a lot. I think with Ezri it is just the beginning and I think he will enjoy to be here with us. We have a lot to improve but I think we are in a good way."

Arsenal defender Gabriel on facing former Gunner Olivier Giroud: "I never played against him. I know he was brilliant when he played at Arsenal but it doesn't matter who I face, I just want to win. I am happy if he plays, he is a big striker, we know his career and what he's achieved."

Arsenal defender Gabriel on facing his old club Lille: "I think it's going to be a very special day for me. I have a lot of love for LOSC, I think especially for me to see the fans and to play against Lille so yeah I am really happy to see them."

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on William Saliba's return to training on the grass: "[He has been back] now for over a week at least. It is about managing that load and how many repetitions and sessions in a row that he can do. But he is building now his capacity to do good standards and then in the coming weeks we can start to introduce him again into the team to see where we are and when we can actually make him available to the squad."

Whether he could be back after the next international break in November: "I don't know. We are still talking in terms of weeks. That is very difficult to say if he can play just before or after that.

"It is a very specific healing process and I cannot tell you exactly how he is going to react to it."

Arsenal defender Gabriel, on missing a penalty in the shootout during the final last season: "I think in a final anything can happen so I think we did really well. Like I said in the Champions League, of course if I had another penalty I'm going to be there to take it and I think my teammates helped me a lot after this.

"Of course I was sad, I don't want to miss a penalty but I've learned from this and if I have another opportunity I'm there to take it."

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on facing former player Olivier Giroud, who now plays for Lille: "First of all he was a great character and a great person to have around the dressing room. As a player, I remember when he came in he was at Ligue 1 with Montpellier and he came here and impacted the team in a very different way. He was a completely different profile of a player than what we were used to and what a career he had. He definitely earned it as well."

Arsenal defender Gabriel on the start to the season: "It's how we want to be, we have a good mentality every game. We started the season really strong so I think we need to keep pushing and keep believing in us."

On the Champions League after losing the final last season: "I think we are really happy to be in the Champions League again. We want to keep the momentum, last year we did really well in the Champions league. It's an opportunity for us again to attack the Champions League."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on his players' ability not to panic in difficult situations: "We have to be emotionally dominant regardless of what the context is, which is easy to say but actually very difficult to do. We did it in the majority of the matches, which is great. We didn't do it in Brighton and we paid the penalty of that."

More from Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on the injuries suffered by Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi in Saturday's post-match warm-down: "It's far from ideal."

On what can be done to stop this happening again: "Very easy, you don't train. If they never train then they don't get injured, but the consequence to that is when they are needed to play they have no rhythm and when you ask them to play they are going to have no impact in the game.

"That could happen at the Emirates - it never happened in seven years that I have been here. It could happen the next day in the training session. That has happened before and hopefully it doesn't happen again.

"What can you do? If I had a crystal ball I would just say 'guys, get in the Jacuzzi and I will see you tomorrow'."

Mikel Arteta is asked what he can do to prevent injuries such as those suffered by Piero Hincapie and Martin Zubimendi during Saturday's warm-down.

"If I could predict this, I'd look at my crystal ball, get in my jacuzzi then see you all tomorrow," Arteta says.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on Eberechi Eze's low number of starts: "Like everybody else I think they need to earn the right to play. That's up to training sessions and when you are on that pitch to have the impact on the game that the team needs, in order to achieve that.

"He [Eze] is going to have many opportunities to do that. His attitude is phenomenal and our players have to adapt as well to his qualities."

Arsenal

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta on his side's attacking flow: "I think it is going pretty well. I think the way we have finished the actions is probably something we need to improve, but in terms of what we produced before the international break it was better than any other year.

"Then we had obviously the Brighton game [a 3-0 loss away from home], then the other game [against Leeds] which was a different context as well. But we are getting in good positions and we just need to be more clinical now to finish more actions."
