## Resource

In this episode I'm joined by Tim Stillman to chat about Arsenal's Brazilians in World Cup action, England's draw with Ghana that featured four of our players, but which raised more questions about Declan Rice's fitness and how we cope with that ahead of next season. We also talk about what Mikel Arteta might have learned from last season, backroom changes – especially in the medical department, the rumoured swap deal involving Julian Alvarez and Viktor Gyokeres, players pushing through the pain, Aaron Ramsey moving into management, and lots more.
