Mikel Arteta says it's "nothing too serious" for Bukayo Saka after being on the receiving end of a poor challenge on Sunday against Ipswich.
38% of the goals PSG have conceded this season have come from set-pieces — and they face Arsenal on Tuesday.
PSG manager Luis Enrique when asked how his team will prepare to take on Arsenal:
”We will prepare in the same way as we did against Liverpool. Liverpool are a team that has at least as much potential as Arsenal, if not more.
“Aston Villa also had great potential in this area, as do the majority of Ligue 1 teams. We will not prepare our team based on this aspect of the game in particular. But it is obvious that we must be competitive everywhere.”
Luis Enrique: "I haven't planned to work specifically on set pieces because I know Arsenal very well.
"We've already played against them this season. The strengths and weaknesses that brought us here are still the same."
Arteta on Martinelli: "When you look at his consistency over the years and the amount of goals he has scored at his age and his contribution to a big club like Arsenal, that is not easy at all.
"So I think he is on the right path. He is a fantastic player to work with, his work ethic. He has decided to play every minute of every competition. That is the kind of character and leaders we want in the team
."

Myles Lewis-Skelly on his confidence:
"It comes from preparation. From young, my mum has instilled in me the positive psychology of journalling, manifestation, gratitude and ultimately believing you can be the best."
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner on Arsenal game:
"If somebody believes that he has to save his energy for Saturday, we have no chance to win the game [against Arsenal]. It's quite simple.
"But they said 'no, we will go there to show our style, to show our identity. We will show who we are, giving it our best."
Arsenal are on the verge of sealing Martín Zubimendi’s arrival. 🇪🇸
Sporting director Andrea Berta is pushing to get the deal wrapped up in the coming weeks and recent talks have been very positive.
Mikel Arteta on PSG game:
“The message [to the fans] is that they have to play every ball with us.
“So I would say bring your boots, your shinpads, your shorts, your T-shirts!
“And let's play on Tuesday night all together here to have one of the most amazing nights at the Emirates.”
It’s true — Arsenal want to extend Gabriel’s contract. 🇧🇷✍️
Plenty of clubs in Italy and Spain are keeping a close eye on the Brazilian’s situation.
But he’s happy in London with his family and there’s confidence talks will go positively.
Sokratis on Bukayo Saka: "I was there the first time he came up and trained.
"He had great talent and he's a kid who listens. He listened to everything, everything his teammates told him, he's a very kind kid, terribly shy.
"In terms of football, he
stood out. Fast, very strong, intelligent for his age. I think that was his difference compared to other young people. And I emphasise, he is very calm, one of the very good kids," he told England365 journalist Dimitris Manakos.
