Arsenal players train ahead of their Premier League against Chelsea. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is relishing the prospect of facing long-time friend Xabi Alonso in the Premier League for the first time when the defending champions host Chelsea on Sunday.Both sides have made perfect starts to the season, with Arsenal and Chelsea both taking six points from their opening two matches. Arteta and Alonso, both 44, grew up together in Spain’s Basque Country and have remained close throughout their playing and coaching careers.The pair first faced each other as managers in a friendly in 2024 when Alonso was in charge of Bayer Leverkusen, but Sunday’s encounter will be their first meeting in England’s top flight.”I am really happy for him. It’s incredible because obviously we have the history we have together,” Arteta told reporters .”To be facing each other at such a level and with the responsibility we have managing some of the top clubs in the country is a really beautiful thing to experience.”Chelsea’s attack has been impressive early in the campaign, with Morgan Rogers, Joao Pedro and Cole Palmer all finding form in front of goal, but Arteta said controlling the flow of the game would be crucial.”That will depend on a lot of factors and game state is a massive one, especially because the two games that they played, they scored very, very early and that changes the momentum and the shift of the game,” Arteta said. “But they are capable and he’s capable of playing in various ways. He’s been a really successful manager so far.”Arsenal were linked with a number of high-profile attacking targets during the transfer window, including Rogers, Julian Alvarez and Vinicius Junior, but their only forward addition was Greece winger Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge.Arteta, however, brushed off suggestions that Arsenal had fallen short in the market. “I don’t know, these are just opinions,” the Spaniard said. “The window is closed and I prefer to look at all the incredible things that we have in this squad and not to spend any more time on the things that are not part of us right now. That’s it and that’s my main responsibility.”Arsenal will lean heavily on the likes of Kai Havertz, Viktor Gyokeres and Bukayo Saka but Arteta insisted the attack is not weaker compared to last season despite the departures of Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli”We have to understand the amount of minutes that those players played and the ones that were injured last year, especially in the first six months, and the data shows something completely different,” Arteta said. “But it is what it is. It is what we have and, as I said before, we already have some very, very good players.”Martinelli’s departure for Saudi side Al Hilal in a reported £60mn ($81mn) deal ended the Brazilian’s seven-year spell at Arsenal that saw him make nearly 300 appearances for the club. “He goes with our gratitude,” said Arteta. “It’s been a pleasure to work with him, to be part of this journey with him.” Related Story Source link
Air India A320 issued stall warning when seatbelt signs off, injuring 24, investigators say
Air India logo is seen in this illustration. (Reuters/File Photo) An Air India A320 flying from Phuket to New Delhi last month issued a stall warning when seatbelt signs were off, while a rapid pitch up and then down threw passengers and cabin crew against overhead bins and injured 24 people, Indian investigators said.The Airbus plane, cruising at 36,000 feet, initially ascended 372 feet then fell to 292 feet below it, according to a preliminary report into the August 4 accident released yesterday.The two-second stall warning came after the flight control system detected the loss of all three of the aircraft’s hydraulic systems within four seconds, disengaging the autopilot and setting off a continuous cockpit alarm.The hydraulic systems, which use pressurised fluid to power the flight controls and other equipment, began recovering about nine seconds after the first was lost, the report said.The report from India’s Aircraft Accident Investigation Bureau (AAIB) did not say why the pressure loss was detected, which will require further investigation.The event was updated to an “accident” from “serious incident” by investigators, and the report throws light on a chaotic few seconds on board the flight that had 137 passengers and eight crew.The 32-year-old first officer was flying the plane at the time of the event, though the 34-year-old captain later took over the controls, it said. Both have been interviewed as part of the investigation.AIR INDIA UNDER SCRUTINYThe report adds to scrutiny of Air India, which has been under intense regulatory and public pressure since the June 2025 crash of one of its Boeing 787s in Ahmedabad killed 260 people.The airline also faces separate questions after the report said the flight’s captain returned a “non-negative” result in a confirmatory test for psychoactive substances.The AAIB did not specify the substance for which the captain tested non-negative, but a source last month told Reuters it was marijuana.Air India in an X post later yesterday said it has terminated with immediate effect the employment of the pilot-in-command of the flight after he tested positive for a psychoactive substance.Air India said it was co-operating fully with the probe and giving investigators access to operational, maintenance and technical records.India’s second-largest airline is implementing a one-time mandatory substance testing for all pilots after the accident, expanding checks beyond regulatory requirements.The AAIB recommended the aviation regulator take appropriate action on priority to prevent abuse of psychoactive substances, calling the finding a “serious concern.”India is considering annual drug testing of all pilots after the accident, against the current requirement that 10% be tested each year.The preliminary report did not make any recommendations to Airbus, which in a private report reviewed by Reuters told Air India the A320 aircraft registered losses in all three hydraulic systems in quick succession, briefly leaving key flight controls unresponsive.For about four seconds, the pilots were unable to use the elevators and ailerons, which control the aircraft’s pitch and banking, Airbus’ analysis showed.Air India is controlled by the Tata Group, while Singapore Airlines owns a roughly 25% stake.
