Arsenal fullback Carl Jenkinson insists they'll overcome the sale of Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona.
The Gunners face Udinese on Tuesday, in what will be their first game since Fabregas left for Barcelona, and Jenkinson says the players are fully focused on the task in hand.
"In terms of the team spirit we are a very united group and are very positive about the season ahead and the games coming up," he told arsenal.com.
"In one way you could say it has affected us because we have lost a friend but we are very positive about things in general.
"Cesc was our captain, a great player and a friend so in that sense it is sad to see him go."
