Yves Bissouma Injuries

'Bissouma is out with problems with the muscles.' 'Bissouma is available - 100 per cent - more than the Sunderland game.'

'Bissouma is back, so he is available as well.'

'Biss, unfortunately, had a situation with the national team, I think everyone saw that, so he got a ligament injury to his ankle that will keep him out for weeks.'

'It's an internal matter that we're dealing with at the moment, and when we have dealt with that, then I will have a comment on it.'

Unfortunately, he got injured in training yesterday. We need to look into how much it is.' '... will miss this game.' 'He's out for the next game. I don't have a specific timeline for him, but I don't think it will be that long.' 'I think, to be fair, he has just started to run outside, so he is not part of the group. That I actually don't know [when he will return]. Of course, I know [about his recovery], but [a RTP] is further down the line.'

'Bissouma has not travelled with the team because of disciplinary reasons. He has been late several times, and the latest time was one too many. With everything you need to give your players a lot of love, but also have demands, and there also needs to be consequences, and this time there was a consequence for that.' 'Bissouma was a situation, I addressed it, there was a consequence, he will be in the squad tomorrow. We move forward. We have a big game tomorrow.'

'Bissouma got a knock in the [Europa Final], so he’s 50/50 at the moment. The rest of them physically are OK.'

'Brennan has a bit of a calf complaint, and [Bissouma] is a bit sore as well. So, we're just waiting to hear on them.' 'Biss was a knock. We're hoping that he should be right by next weekend.'

'Everyone is reporting well except for Yves. He's got a bit of an issue, but we'll have a look at him over the next couple of days and see how it settles.' 'It’s hard to say at the moment, it’s a tweak in his groin. Initial reports, there is a chance for Sunday, which tells me it’s nothing significant. If he doesn’t make Sunday, then I’ll assume he’ll be right for after that.' 'He is not where we want him to be. Hopefully, [there is] still a chance for the weekend.' 'Bissouma trained today, so he should be available for tomorrow.'

'I want to apologise for these videos. This was a severe lack of judgment. I understand how serious this is, and the health risks involved, and I also take my responsibility as a footballer and role model very seriously.' 'Biss is available, but we’ve got other options there.'

'Unfortunately, Biss picked up a knee injury in the last game and will miss the last two.'

'No, that's not right. He had a slight form of malaria before the tournament, but it cleared up by the start of the tournament. He's 100 per cent now.'

'He did all the runs at the end. I haven’t picked up anything from the medics. It’s fair to say they'll be exhausted after what we’ve done in the last three days, but I don’t think there’s any issues.'

'We can confirm that Yves will undergo surgery on Friday to repair a stress fracture to his left ankle. A timeframe for his return will be determined after surgery.' 'Bissouma is not ready to play.' 'The injury of Bissouma is particular. He is recovering. He has started to work, but it is not easy to recover strength in the calf after an injury like this, so we have to respect the time.' 'We're hopeful [he can play a part before the end of the season]. But there are some hurdles he's got to overcome.'

'The injury came from the last match. An ankle problem. He tried to push himself, but he was not 100 per cent. He will [be OK for Arsenal].'

"About Bissouma, we have another day to check his physical condition, nothing serious, but I don't want to take any risks. Tomorrow, we have another training session to make an evaluation about him."

"Yeah, he was close, but we thought with the international break coming up as well, it gives him a bit more time to enable him to be fit for Norwich."
