Arsenal boss Emery assures Nelson he's in his plans

Arsenal boss Unai Emery already has plans for Reiss Nelson next season.

The midfielder is currently playing on-loan at Hoffenheim.

Emery says Nelson has a future at the club, despite allowing him leave on loan.

"Players like Emile Smith Rowe, like Joe Willock, like Eddie Nketiah and also Reiss Nelson are interesting to me," said Emery.

"But we decided it's better for Reiss to go on and take this responsibility and get experience of games with a good level in Germany. I think that's good."

On his team selection for Wednesday, Emery added: "We can give players chances to play, chances to take confidence and minutes in the game.

"The possibility is to give the players who are playing less in one competition to take minutes and these responsibilities going forward."
