Battaglia is a manager & previously played for Argentina alongside Heinze.

He wrote on Instagram: “Being in London, we had the opportunity to get to know the Arsenal training centre and share a nice soccer chat with Gaby Heinze about the dynamics of the relationship between the coaching staff and the sports management, and the different forms of work.

“In addition, he thanked those responsible for opening the doors of the English club to him. "Many thanks to him, to Mikel Arteta, team coach, and Andrea Berta, sports director, for receiving us and opening the doors of the club.”

🚨 Big new Arsenal injury update from Mikel Arteta...

On Piero Hincapie: "Piero is evolving really well as well. Knowing his character and the way he pushes everybody, I'm sure it's not going to take long I think. But he will need probably another week or two."

On Martin Zubimendi: "Zubi looks much better. He already looked much better today and we have another session tomorrow. After that we will assess whether he's available to play against Forest."

On Christos Tzolis: "Again, doing really well. Yesterday he had another MRI scan to see how the injury is evolving. It's progressing really well. Another one that hopefully we can have back in a few weeks."

On William Saliba: "Again, I think next week we have another MRI with him to see how the healing process is at the moment. But every sign so far has been very, very positive. It will be great to have him."

Arteta: "That's a very personal question. I think what he transmits is an incredible will & determination & worry to improve and help the team. That's it.

"And that's Viktor every single day, regardless of his position, whether he scores a goal or not. That's why he's always an option to play." 💪

🚨 Mikel Merino to The Players Tribune: “Last February, I had to watch the most depressing PowerPoint of my life

"I was in an office at the training ground, wearing a protective boot. The club doctor and the chief physio were going slide by slide.

“The title race was on. The World Cup was close. My wife was pregnant. I was thinking, OK, I get it. How long? The doctor said: ‘Six months.’

“I was too shocked to even feel sad. I just did the math in my head. The World Cup was four months away. I said, ‘Are you sure???’

“He said, ‘Mikel, I’m sorry. It’s impossible.’

“The situation was even worse, because the specialist who did the scan had never seen a stress fracture in that part of the foot.

“He’d been doing this for 30 years. He had called five of the best specialists in the world, and none of them had seen it either. Nobody knew how my foot would recover, or if it would recover at all.

“Part of me feared that I would never play football again. I drove home in silence.

“When I told my wife, Lola, what the doctor said, that’s when I broke down. My brain already understood, but my heart needed me to say it out loud.

“The next few days were some of the hardest of my life. First I thought, I can’t believe I’ll miss another one.”

🚨🇪🇸 Mikel Merino has revealed he was involved in the post-match cool-down collision which crocked Martin Zubimendi after Arsenal's 2-1 Premier League victory over Leeds.

Both Zubimendi and left-back Piero Hincapie sustained ankle injuries during separate incidents on the pitch at the Emirates Stadium as a cluster of players participated in a competitive training session.

Speaking after the 3-0 Champions League win over Lille, Merino told Spanish radio station Cadena SER: "He [Zubimendi] is fine, he had his ankle a little bit hurt due to an action with me and if there is anyone that doesn't want to hurt him, it's me but it was a freak accident in training but he's fine, he is a bull and recovers quickly."

Mikel Arteta has since confirmed Zubimendi, who was unable to feature against Les Dogues, is in contention to face Nottingham Forest this weekend while Hincapie is expected to be sidelined for "a matter of weeks."
