In today’s news conference, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger revealed the up to date team news coming into their Premier League tie against Leicester City.
When speaking about his overall squad fitness coming into the game, Wenger said that no new injuries had occurred.
After Tuesday night we have no new injuries.
We have an uncertainty about Gabriel as his case will come forward today and we will find out if he is suspended or not and overall that is the news we have.
The Frenchman revealed some positive news about Francis Coquelin, but admitted this weekend’s fixture is too early for his recovery.
He is progressing well, but he will not be available for Leicester.
He has a scan today but the evolution is quite positive. He might start practice tomorrow. He has a little chance for Tuesday, and a bigger chance for Man United.
It is very difficult to be definite today.
He then finished by giving updates on the injuries to Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky.
They are all doing well. Jack just had surgery so at the moment he cannot do anything.
Danny is doing well, Tomas Rosicky as well.
Jack Wilshere had an operation on his injury and was successful as the England midfielder looks to return as quickly as possible.
It was very successful and touch wood hopefully all goes well now.
Arsenal will need as many of their key players available as possible as they face an in-form Leicester side containing star men Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez, who have been superb for Claudio Ranieri’s side this season.
Jack Wilshere has been missing for a while now and has struggled with injury for most of his Arsenal career, showing glimpses of class and then being ruled out for a number of months.
