    Arsenal

    On the longer-term absentees like Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, Mikel Arteta said: "Kai is looking really good. He is walking freely and starting to do some bits.

    "It was a very tough decision for him to go and have the surgery. But it was the right one.

    "He is putting weight on the knee and working towards weeks and months. I cannot say a time frame."

    On Jesus: "He had a major surgery and it was going to take him many months after discussing the surgery he had and when he could be available. We decided to make that goal December or January. He will start training with the team around December."

    Mikel Arteta started his news conference by giving an update on team news ahead of Saturday's game against Nottingham Forest.

    "Bukayo [saka] is out. He is still out and he is trying to get back as quick as possible. We need to respect that process.

    "William Saliba trained today and Ben White too."

    In response to whether Saliba will be available: "He trained today so we have a decision to make if we play him or not. It's very good news."

    Arsenal's match on Saturday against Nottingham Forest is the start of a tough month of fixtures for the Gunners.

    In September they face Forest, Athletic Bilbao, Manchester City and Newcastle in the Champions League and Premier League.

    They also travel to Port Vale in the Carabao Cup.

    This tough run is exactly why Mikel Arteta and Arsenal decided to strengthen their squad so much in the transfer window.

    This week will also be the first time that Arteta has all of his players together after the window has shut and Piero Hincapie will meet the rest of his team-mates after signing on deadline day.

    Wolves boss Vitor Pereira on how close Strand Larsen was to leaving the club: "I don’t know, this is a question for the club and not for me.

    "I really don’t know what happened but there were rumours and in the end he is happy and committed. The club and the player are talking about renewing his contract and I think he deserves it."

    Man City v Man Utd (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Manchester United

    Ruben Amorim's full quote on why he believes Manchester United are a better team now than when they won at Manchester City in the Premier League last December: "I think we are a better team. If you see any aspect of the data we are a different team. We are ready to play the game but we have to show on Sunday. So I think we are a better team today.

    He added: "We believe in our team and I have that feeling. It will be a very good game. We know what to do. I have one more training. The table in the moment it doesn't matter. I just worry about maintaining the same principles. The way we fight for every ball."

    As more news conferences flood in, we've had a series of updates on players out with injuries.

    Here’s a quick rundown of the key casualties:

    • The Blues are also waiting to see if Cole Palmer is fit enough for Saturday's trip to Brentford
    • Brighton midfielder Solly March, who has not played this season because of a knee injury, will "not be back in two or three weeks" but it's likely we will see him "back in this year".
    • Bournemouth's Adam Smith has a suspected hamstring injury and will be out for a few more weeks.
    • Liverpool will be missing midfielder Curtis Jones against Burnley as Arne Slot confirmed he picked up an injury in their win against Arsenal before the international break.
    • Man City manager Pep Guardiola confirmed Omar Marmoush came back from the international break injured but should be back in a few weeks - with Rayan Ait Nouri and Rayan Cherki also out of action.
    • There are still doubts on whether Man City's John Stones will be able to play in the Manchester derby after pulling out of England training because of a muscle injury, but Guardiola says is not a "big issue"
    • Ruben Amorim says Altay Bayindir will start in goal for Manchester United at Manchester City on Sunday, ahead of new signing Senne Lammens. But Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount and Diego Dalot are out.
    • Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina has been ruled out for three months with a hamstring injury sustained on international duty.

  11. 'Sometimes you have all the quality but need a change'published at 13:56 BST 12 September

    Man City v Man Utd (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Manchester United

    Ruben Amorim's full quote on why Andre Onana had to leave Old Trafford on loan in the transfer window: "I think we understood that this needed a change and sometimes it is hard to point out why. Sometimes it is the moment, the bad luck in some moments.

    "It is hard on him, on us. Our thinking is to have a change in the goalkeepers but I wish the best for Andre Onana.

    "He was really good at working and trying to help the players, but sometimes you can have all the quality in the world but you need a change."

  12. Cunha, Mount & Dalot out but 'pushing really hard'published at 13:53 BST 12 September

    Man City v Man Utd (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Manchester United

    Ruben Amorim on Manchester United's injured trio Matheus Cunha, Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot: "They are out for this game. I don't know how long it is going to take. We need our guys to be a very competitive team but we have very good players who are eager to play, so we will be competitive on Sunday but they are out. They cannot help us in this game."

    On how long they will be out for: "I don't want to say. If you talk to Cunha he will say he is able to play this game. So I don't know. We will manage day-by-day. They are pushing really hard and that is a good thing."

  13. Goalkeeper situation 'needed a change'published at 13:49 BST 12 September

    Ruben Amorim says Andre Onana's departure from the club is because the situation "needed a change" and that he wishes the best for the Cameroon international.

  14. Amorim on why Bayindir will start against Man Citypublished at 13:47 BST 12 September

    Man City v Man Utd (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Manchester United

    Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim confirmed Altay Bayindir would start in goal for Sunday's derby at the Etihad and explained why new signing Senne Lammens will not:

    "Altay is going to continue. It is a different league, a different country, different training, different ball. So we will try to maintain that and they will fight for the position but for me in this game is clear, Altay will start."

    On Lammens: "He is a goalkeeper with a lot of potential. I know that we are in a moment where the goalkeeper needs to be really strong and have a lot of experience. We are also in the moment where we have to look at the present but also with a focus on the future - so it is a little bit of both. He's a guy with a great potential that is one more option [for us] to play, and he will be ready."

    On why United plumped for Lammens over Aston Villa's Emi Martinez: "We have an option that can give us different things in the moment but also has a great potential to be our goalkeeper for a lot of years so that was out choice in the end."

    Get Involved - 'I would put Haaland over Isak too'published at 13:46 BST 12 September

    I agree with Pep I would put Haaland over Isak too, but then I would have Kane over either of them so...

    Mike

    Rating Haaland higher than these names at this stage in time is ludicrous. He possesses physical attributes like size, height and speed and hangs around near the goal. Perhaps one of the reasons City are so vulnerable in transition.

    Man City v Man Utd (Sun, 16:30 GMT)

    Manchester City

    Pep Guardiola on whether he will manage City for 27 years like Sir Alex Ferguson did at Manchester United:

    "I've said many times I don't know what will happen [in the future]. Results dictate the positions and I have to make a good season.

    "I will not stay if the club feels it needs change. But right now I want to do it more than ever after what happened last season.

    "I am not saying that just because of what I have done in the past. I like to look forward.

    "But the time I am going to stay? When I first joined and signed for three years I would never expected to have stayed for a decade. I am so proud of that. I want to help the team, the club again and again."

  19. 'He is so tall, so huge'published at 13:32 BST 12 September

    Man City v Man Utd (Sun 16:30 BST)

    Manchester City

    Pep Guardiola on what Gianluigi Donnarumma will bring to his Manchester City team: "He is so tall. He is so huge. All the keepers save shots, bring personality to the team and be a big presence. He has done that in the biggest games. He is going to concede goals but all of us will help him try not to."

    On what the signing means for James Trafford: "He is a keeper for Man City. I can only play one keeper, I can play two full-backs, two centre-backs. The season is so long everyone will be involved. They may not believe it but they will"

  20. 'We didn't take Gigi to do what Ederson has done'published at 13:29 BST 12 September

    Man City v Man Utd (Sun, 16:30 BST)

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola on his new goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma: "I always try to adapt to the quality of the players. I wouldn't demand Gigi [Donnarumma] do something he is uncomfortable with. We are talking about the best player [goalkeeper] I have ever seen with distribution, short and long passes, in Ederson.

    "We didn't take Gigi to do what Ederson has done. Gigi has another quality."
