• Rafael Leao Arsenal transfer links are back, but how realistic is this move? Charles Watts has given us his info.

• Mikel Arteta on Kai Havertz possibly returning to play vs PSG: “That’s too close. If I have to bet on him. Earlier than expected. I will say yes. The way he works everyday pushing. I don’t think you can hold him much longer.”

• Arteta on Riccardo Calafiori: “He won’t be ready vs Ipswich. Back with PSG? If everything goes will I think so, maybe a little bit earlier. He’s on the pitch already, he’s doing a lot of stuff. We need to make the right steps to make sure when he’s back he’s ok.”

Barcelona

• Hansi Flick: “Every federation, or every league cares about their clubs, but here they do not. We’re allowed to play, then come back at 5 or 6 in the morning. It’s unbelievable. This calendar doesn’t help us, and it doesn't help Spanish football either.”
