Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is happy with the way Aaron Ramsdale has reacted to being dropped for David Raya this week.
Raya has kept two clean sheets since stepping in for Ramsdale.
Arteta said: "I care about every player that isn't playing, but it's my job to make a decision in the best possible way for the team.
"He's been supportive and great around the place, that's what I expect from my players. So far he has been really good.
"Am I comfortable [making the decision]? I'm not sure. In your stomach it's hard. When players don't play it's difficult. You want them to feel wanted but it's tough.
"We have seen how important it is for everybody to feature over the season."
On facing Tottenham on Sunday with Harry Kane now long gone, Arteta continued: "They have many other qualities and many other players who can make a difference in the game.
"It's a big change but they have adapted well without him. He was a special player and everything went through him. He glued everything together in many areas of the pitch.
"Now it's different. They have some movement with certain players who are different.
"We are just focused on the team we face and trying to play the best way to cause problems."
