'Too late': Mikel Arteta reveals message to Arsenal players after Europa League exit

Speaking ahead of the Premier League clash with Crystal Palace, Mikel Arteta said: "I try to give a lot of clarity in the dressing room.

"It was only one message: accept that it’s too late, we have to learn from it," he said in reference to the Europa League exit.

"But there’s no point spending one moment of energy or thought that’s going to take anything out of Sunday because we’re going to have to be at our best again in the Premier League against Palace to beat them.

"I want everybody recovering mentally and physically to be in the best possible position for the game."

Arsenal could move eight points clear of Man City with victory over Palace.
