Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Champions League game against Bayern Munich at Allianz Arena (20:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Areta confirmed Martin Zubimendi is "back with us and he will be involved tomororow" while Piere Hincapie is nearing a return: "Let's see. If he is able to train over the next few days he will be available for Everton, which is great news."

• Arteta was asked about Eberechi Eze's recent form and his withdrawal at half-time in Sunday's win at Nottingham Forest: "I have some really good players. Expectations are so big for all of them. We want more from everybody and we demand it. That is what will make us better individually and as a team. I hope that continues because that will push all of us to reach different levels and be better."

• On the challenge of facing Bayern, who beat the Gunners in the quarter-finals in the 2023-24 season: "Really looking forward to the game. This is the stage, the kind of team, the coach, the stadium, the club, that you want to be involved in. We have prepared the game with loads of enthusiasm and we will try to win."

• Asked whether last season's defeat in the final is motivation, Arteta said: "I tried but I haven't managed [to get over it]. I tried for a few weeks. When I see the ball and the music and the scenes, I want it so badly. We know we have to go step by step, but that fire is within the team and all of us individually. We know what we had to go through not being champions of Europe via a penalty, so let's go again."

• On Bayern's Michael Olise being suspended for Wednesday's game: "You want to face the best players in these kind of games and he is out. But when you look at their starting XI, they are coached incredibly well, the midset they have, the conviction they have in every action, and then their individual quality. We will just confront that and go for it."

• Arteta praised opposite number Vincent Kompany, who missed his news conference with an illness: "I hope he gets better soon and is there tomorrow because it will be very good for the game. Huge admirer of him as a person because I got to know him for a few years, and as a coach. The identity and quality that his team shows over the past few years is another level and that is big credit for him."

• On the challenge for defenders facing Harry Kane: "They get tested a lot in the Premier League, and they have already done in the Champions League. I think what Harry is doing and has done in the past few years is just something else, another level, and that's the level they're going to have to face tomorrow."
