The Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has backed “warrior” Bruno Guimarães to “ignite something different” in the Premier League champions. “You can see the immediate reaction,” Arteta told the club website after Guimarães was given a warm reception by supporters. I think he’s a warrior with a tremendous quality as well, and intuition and leadership and charisma that is going to help us. I think he’s going to push everybody inside the team as well and that’s the type of player that we need.” “Disappointed that we lost the game,” said Arteta, who gave Ødegaard his first minutes of pre-season following the World Cup and will welcome back his full squad on Monday.
