7M Preview - Arsenal vs Leicester City

Thursday, August 10 2017 by 7MTV
  • SOUNDBITE: (English) Arsene Wenger, Arsenal manager:
    (What is the reason for Alexis Sanchez's absence on Friday - was it lack of match fitness?) "No, he had a little abdominal strain that he caught on Sunday morning in training, before he came to Wembley. And he had a scan two days ago and he is out for a while. I don't know - is it two weeks? One more week? But he will not be available."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Craig Shakespeare, Leicester City manager:
    (on Riyad Mahrez handing in transfer request and his commitment to Leicester City)
    "I can only speak on how I found him so far coming back. I have to say he's been very focused. When I say driven, he hasn't given me one problem of pulling him to the side and say, 'pull your finger out'. He hasn't. And while he does that we all know that he came out and said that he wants to leave until we get a bid and a bid accepted that is reasonable for Leicester. Then he stays then as soon as soon as he stays focused or as much as he can. He stays focused. Then he will be considered for selection."
