Not exact matches
With that in mind, Wenger will be hoping
to field as many first team regulars at
full fitness as he can, but if the likes of Ozil, Giroud,
Koscielny and Ramsey aren't
returning to training until later, it remains
to be seen if they will be at
full fitness to kick off the campaign.
Ramsey therefore joins Iwobi, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Welbeck and Jenkinson on the treatment table, whilst Wilshere, Ozil, Giroud and
Koscielny are all hopefully
returning to full fitness.
This is because
Koscielny is not far off a
return to full fitness, whilst Chambers and Holding are largely inexperienced and so are seen as more rotational players than first team choices.
Luckily for Arsene Wenger's side, both Laurent
Koscielny and Mesut Ozil have
returned to full training and look set
to play despite
fitness concerns over the last two weeks.
With Mertesacker and Gabriel
to return from injury,
Koscielny to return from suspension and Mustafi and Chambers
to get up
to full fitness, Arsene Wenger should have enough options
to not have
to resort
to that combination again.
