Arteta: Jokeres was substituted because he felt muscle discomfort, we need to wait for the test results

November 2nd, in the 10th round of the 2025-26 Premier League season, Arsenal 2-0 Burnley away. In an interview with the BBC after the game, Arsenal coach Arteta said that Yokeres was replaced because the player felt some muscle discomfort.

About this game

- We performed well in the first half, scoring 2 goals and not giving our opponents any chance, which laid the foundation for us. We had to make some adjustments in the second half, so we lost control of the game. But our defense was still very good and we didn't give our opponents any chance. They have only lost one game here in the past 18 months, against Liverpool, and that was at the last moment.

About Jocles being replaced

- His performance in the first half was his best since joining. He's feeling some muscle discomfort, so we'll need to wait for further test results.

About Rice

-He stepped up, I don’t know how many times he won the ball, how many times he won the confrontation, this is part of the growth of a player.
