Mikel Arteta was pleased with Arsenal's 3-1 victory over Burnley at the Emirates on Saturday, but was disappointed to see Fabio Vieira sent off late on. The Gunners were reduced to 10 men when Michael Oliver brandished a red card for Vieira's challenge on Josh Brownhill, and though Arteta admits it was a deserved dismissal, he had no complaints.
Speaking at his post-match press conference, the Spaniard praised the officials for getting the decision right and thanked the press for asking about it. He then went on to discuss the team's current injury crisis, revealing that Martin Odegaard had been unavailable and Thomas Partey is expected to be out until the new year.
Arteta hopes Odegaard will be back after the international break and is due to have a meeting with the medical department regarding everyone's situations. He also discussed Jorginho, who had to be taken off with a cut, and praised him for his performance and competitiveness.
The Gunners have now moved level on points with Manchester City, and Arteta will be hoping for some positive news in the coming days so he can get his side back to full-strength as soon as possible.
