On Wilshere
He is back in training. We have to monitor him daily and see how he develops. I don't know when he'll return.

On any crisis meeting
Nothing happened. The spirit is good, I'm sure we can come back well. (FYI team had one meeting after loss to Southampton in Jan. In March 2013 after derby defeat, Defense department did it and propelled the team to unlikely top 4 finish)

On Derby Defeat and Criticism
We had a very strong run before Saturday so we just want to continue that. We need to respond strongly. We have to deal with our performances. The criticism is always there. We have to focus on our performances. I don't take criticism personally. What I take personally is losing games. We have a good opportunity to show that we have the strength and quality to deal with pressure.

On Leicester game and team's response
He urged the foxes to stick with Nigel Pearson. (On team bouncing back) You focus on how you can put your team in a position to respond well and quickly.
This is a very important period.

Arsenal U21s play Newcastle U21s today. Few days back, Wenger said First team players Serge Gnabry and Krystian Bielik will feature in this game to regain match sharpness. If they play, then Bielik will be donning the Arsenal colours for the first time since his move from Legia Warsaw in January. Certainly a steady step in the right direction for the young Pole.
That's all for today.
