Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed all the latest team news ahead of his side’s trip to Vicarage Road, where they will face newly promoted Watford.
A sigh of relief is often breathed from an Arsenal perspective when news comes back that no one has suffered any type of injuries while away from north London – and that same sigh can be echoed this time around.
Wenger conceded that Arsenal stalwart Laurent Koscielny has a chance to be back in action but faces a late test.
Koscielny has a slight chance to be back on Saturday. He has a definite test tomorrow.
The boss then moved on to Mikel Arteta and Mathieu Flamini, stating that both are ready and back in training, so could be involved in the matchday squad come Saturday afternoon.
Arteta and Flamini are back in full training. We need to see how they are and how confident they are, but we can’t rule it out.
Moving on to the South American trio of Joel Campbell, Alexis Sanchez and David Ospina, the Frenchman revealed that all have declared themselves fit for the weekend’s action.
From the internationals we only have positive news. We are still waiting for Campbell, Alexis and Ospina to return, but they all texted back to say they are OK, so we just have to see if they were objective in their assessment.
Arsenal will look to continue their fine domestic form on Saturday after an impressive 3-0 win over Manchester United.
