Mikel Arteta was asked about both in his post-match press conference, and this is what he told the media:

on Granit Xhaka…
He played at Bournemouth, he played really well, he was very committed, he played a really good game. After the game he started to feel ill. He had a temperature and he wasn’t feeling good. The last two days he’s been in bed. That’s why he’s not been selected.

on whether he wants him to leave…
I hope not.

on Calum Chambers…
The doctors are assessing him. The first feeling he got, it wasn’t very positive.
