Arteta: ‘I know Arsenal will fire me’

Mikel Arteta issued the world’s first plea to come and fire me after Arsenal collapsed defeat the wolves at home.

The Gunners have had their worst start to the season in 39 years, ranking 14th with just 13 points.

“It’s something that the day I decided to be a coach I know that one day they will fire me or leave the football club,” said Arteta.

“I don’t know if it is the day after I sign my contract, in a month, a year or six months. I never worry about it.

“My only concern is getting the best out of the players, giving the best possible service to the club and getting better and better.

“I know, I repeat, in this profession, one day they will fire me or I will leave but I don’t know when that will happen.”

The loss to the Lobos was overshadowed by a nasty clash of heads between David Luiz and Raúl Jiménez.

The Wolves forward was stretched off the court and taken to the hospital, but Luiz continued, bandaged and bleeding.

He was eventually replaced at halftime by Rob Holding.

Arteta said: “David is fine. It has a nasty cut. I was conscious. They gave him a test, he was completely fine, but he felt uncomfortable playing with it.

“But obviously, very worried about Jiménez, because he looked really unpleasant. We would like to send him our best wishes, our love for him and his family as well. Hopefully it’s not as bad as it sounds. “

When asked how the medical department handled the situation with Luiz, Arteta said: “First, the doctor all the time has to verify, there is a protocol, that he has not lost consciousness, what he did not do.

“They have to do some tests before putting him back on the court, and then David was just worried about the cut, nothing more. They will continue to do some checks in the next few hours, but it was fine. “

Arteta later said that he had taken Luiz out at half-time because he was “very uncomfortable, he couldn’t really head the ball and obviously a central defender who can’t head can’t continue.”
