There isn’t that much going on as we wait for Mikel Arteta’s pre-Bournemouth press conference, but here’s a roundup of what’s making the headlines today.

Mikel Arteta has suggested that Fabio Vieira is an option for the left-central-midfield position currently occupied by Granit Xhaka.

Arsenal weren’t at full strength for their opening pre-season friendly against Ipswich Town, but there were five particularly notable absences from the squad.
