Arteta Explains Porter Chance: The Right Decision

Following a dominant 5-1 win over Bolton in the Carabao Cup, Arteta was asked about the injury concerns regarding one of his players. In response, Arteta straightforwardly stated, "We don't have all the details yet, but it appears to be a muscular injury."

On Jack Porter starting in goal, he added: “Jack has been training with us since pre-season, we’re confident he can do the role obviously he plays in the international team, we’ve seen what he can do and we believe he was the right choice.”

On whether he sees himself in Jack, he finished: “In Jack? I wasn’t thrown in like this. I had a situation at 17 when I went to Paris when I went from playing in the B team to Paris that was a big step, I know a little bit how he feels, but I had a little bit more time to prepare than Jack.”
