Serge Gnabry spoke to Arsenal Media following the under-21s' 1-0 defeat to Reading on Tuesday night. This is a transcript of the interview:
on the gameā¦
We conceded a goal early on and they defended well for the 90 minutes but I think we controlled the game. We had decent possession, had some chances but didnāt score so we lost.
on not finding space in key areasā¦
We played well in the final third but didnāt make clear chances and we didnāt score, so that is the result.
on returning to full fitnessā¦
I am feeling good, Iām feeling better and better. It is my second 90 minutes [in the space of a week], I am playing and over my injury so it is all good and I am looking forward to the next game.
on playing at Emirates Stadiumā¦
It is always nice to play here, there was also a decent crowd so I was very pleased to be at the stadium again.
on being called up to Germanyās under-21sā¦
Itās good, i have been injured for a long time. I have been away with the young national team for the past few weeks, which was a good experience with a good side so I am looking forward to the Euros so hopefully we can go there and win the title.
on learning from that environmentā¦
I think it is team spirit. When you are away for a long time, you get together as a team. I think the stronger the team, the better the performances on the pitch.
