Auba isn’t injured but he has been looking after his Mother who has been ill. So he has missed the last two matches because of this and will likely miss the Manchester United game which he might not be ready for psychologically.
“Yes, he’s our captain and one of the most important players,” Arteta said. “We are doing everything we can to have him as quickly as possible.”
“But understanding that he’s been through difficult days that he had to support his family. We were here to support him as well with the time that he needed to get that sorted.”
