Mikel Arteta issues Bruno Guimaraes update as Arsenal dealt new injury worry

Arteta revealed ahead of the match that the Brazilian was ruled out due to a “slight tension in his groin”.There had been suggestions that Guimaraes could now be facing a period of weeks on the sidelines, but Arteta was keen to shut that down.“We expect that not to be weeks at all. Let's see how he evolves this week. He didn't even want to stop. He wanted to carry on.“Now we start to understand the character of the player, but I don't expect that to be a big issue.”Bruno Guimaraes sat out Arsenal’s win over CoventryGettyRead MoreThe winger provided the assist for Saka’s goal and he was a relentless threat running at the Coventry defence in the first half.Tzolis has now scored or assisted in each of his past 16 competitive appearances at club level and he has immediately hit the ground running for Arsenal.”I love that a player that has been with us just for a few weeks gets this kind of energy every time he's on the ball,” Arteta said.“I think he's earned it. I think the way he has performed in the last few games has been phenomenal. What he transmits as a player is so direct, so incisive, constantly. “He wants to make things happen and he has an incredible variety of actions in the last 30 metres. I think it's up to him to make the right decisions. Even the spaces are sometimes really, really small. I'm very happy with him.”
