Mikel Arteta speaks ahead of Arsenal's Champions League tie against Bayern Munich. He reveals that Odegaard could be back for the match. TIMESTAMPS 0:00 intro 0:10 We have to carry the energy from Tottenham into this match. 0:25 We are hoping to have Odegaard back, we will have a meeting about it. We will not push Gyokeres and Havertz back but hopefully they can be back for the following game. 1:08 We have the intention to win against Bayern, we have a very demanding game ahead of us. 1:10 Tomorrow is a great test for us to see where we are. 1:37 The atmosphere and the energy before the game was excellent. The support made such difference. I hope they know that. 2:12 For me if a goal is from a set-play or open-play it is still the same. I am upset we did not score a set-piece and conceded a goal. 3:05 Every opponent brings different challenges. It is a big opportunity for us. 3:40 Vini was going to be excellent at whatever he would choose to do. He loves the game. 4:19 The players that have been out, have been out for a long time but they seem to be in a good place now. 5:02 We have to look at the individuals that have been out, and see who is ready to play and we have to be conscious of the subs we can use aswell. 5:54 The priority is for the team to be as efficient as possible and win football matches. The competition between Eze and Odegaard is positive. 6:50 We need our depth more than ever. We need to be conscious of that. The other squads in the league are built like that too. 7:37 Gabriel Heinze and I compliment each other very well, makes us a much better team. 8:14 Gabriel Jesus is quite close to being back. In the next few days he is going to have another step to make in a game we are going to organise for him. 8:39 Big credit to Hincaipie after his debut against our biggest rivals. it was not easy for him at all. 9:26 We have never won the Champions League, Bayern Munich have won it six times. We can’t compare with Real Madrid. They are in another universe @HaytersTV – Football
