Onana has been missing from training since the start of preseason after suffering a hamstring injury. However, Amorim is optimistic about his chances of making a return to action soon. "Josh (Zirkzee) and Andre (Onana) are recovering and are options," he said. "We'll see." Amorim also praised the team's hard work and preparation, saying they are "better" and "more prepared" to cope with the demands of the Premier League.

Amorim also spoke about the team's attacking options, with new signing Benjamin Sesko potentially making his full debut. Sesko has been described as a striker with great potential, and Amorim is confident that he can make a big impact at the club. "I think he has great potential," Amorim said. "In everything he does, he can play different types of football." Amorim also emphasized that Sesko is physically ready to play in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, fellow striker Rasmus Hojlund is still considered a part of the team, despite some speculation about his future. Amorim insisted that Hojlund is "one more option" and that the team will see how things develop. On the other hand, Arsenal's Viktor Gyokeres will lead the line for the Gunners, a centre-forward that Amorim knows well from their time together at Sporting CP.

Amorim was also asked about the team's midfield options, with some concerns about the lack of depth in this area. However, he insists that Mason Mount is capable of playing deeper if needed, and that the team has players who can cope with the demands of the Premier League. Amorim also praised Bruno Fernandes' ability to play in different positions, saying that he wants Bruno near the ball, which is "really important" for the team.

Overall, Amorim is focused on preparing the team for the match against Arsenal, and is not getting too caught up in the noise and speculation surrounding the team. "I need to live day by day," he said. "Everything that is noise to our team, I take out of the picture, so I just prepare my team against Arsenal."
