The North London derby will take place in Hong Kong on Friday, and Arteta was asked about Gyokeres' chances of making his debut. "He has only done today's session and yesterday very little," Arteta said. "We are going to assess tonight where he is. If the medical staff are pleased with his condition, it is possible." This suggests that Gyokeres may not be ready to start, but could still feature in the game.

Arsenal's new signing, Cristhian Mosquera, also participated in training, but Arteta is being cautious about rushing him back into action. "He needs to start to pick up the feelings again," Arteta said. "He played the U21 Euros, then he didn't really train with Valencia, and the conditions here are really tough and there's a lot of information for him, a lot of physical demands that we put in. So we're going to have to manage him slowly."

Meanwhile, Arteta provided updates on the injuries of Gabriel Magalhaes and Declan Rice. Both players are still working their way back from injury, with Arteta hoping they will be ready for the start of the season in a few weeks' time. "With the rest everybody is going to be ok, apart from big Gabi who is still out and probably Riccy it's probably going to be a bit too early."

Overall, Arteta is taking a cautious approach to integrating his new signings into the team, particularly Mosquera and Gyokeres. However, he is optimistic that they will be able to contribute to the team's success in the coming weeks.
