Arsenal now turn their attentions to Manchester City in the Premier League on Sunday.

Prior to facing Atalanta, Jorginho played down talk of any disadvantage with City having an extra 24 hours rest, telling a news conference “it is what it is”

There is often talk of a hangover when English sides play in European competition on a Thursday night.
