There was a packed press conference room at London Colney on Tuesday morning as Mikel Arteta faced the media ahead of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League game against Sevilla.

The boss was asked about the return of European football, the latest team news, how he has reflected on our defeat at Newcastle and the VAR decisions within it, and more.

Here's everything he had to say on the following subjects:

on early team news:
Gabriel [Jesus] won’t be fit. With Martin, it’s still uncertain. The rest, no news so far.

on what he said after the game at Newcastle United:
It is my duty to stand in front of you, to stand in front of the cameras and give a very clear and honest assessment of what happens in the game.
