The Gunners have arrivedDavid LuizHector BellerinArteta on whether new signings could feature today
Asked if Willian will play at Wembley, Arteta said: 'I don't know.
'We'll make the decision tomorrow on who is going to play and who is going to be involved, but for sure they're going to see our signings playing a lot of minutes this season.
'We've had two training sessions so you can imagine that this game comes straight in the middle of our mini pre-season, but as well we haven't had much time to lose a lot of the condition.
'Obviously it's not an ideal moment to play in this final but the players are motivated. Obviously it's another opportunity to win a trophy and we will go for it.'
