Arsenal.com
have revealed Arsene Wenger's statements on the injured players for the coming game against Crystal Palace
in the Premier League.
The
boss revealed that the Gunners could be without midfielder Mathieu Flamini and
young full-back Hector Bellerin as both suffered knocks earlier this week.
Bellerin
has been a vital player for the Gunners in the absence of Mathieu Debuchy but
will probably miss this clash with an ankle injury. Bellerin who will have a
late fitness test could be replaced by Calum Chambers, if the Spaniard failed
to pass the test.
While
midfielder Flamini has a hamstring injury and is expected to miss this clash, Francis
Coquelin is likely to keep his place in the starting lineup after impressive
displays in the past games.
The
French boss further added that Aaron Ramsey remains out with his hamstring
problem which he suffered nine days ago, he is still two weeks away.
Alex
Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to return after returning from groin injury. But is
likely to sit along with Mathieu Debuchy and Mikel Arteta this weekend.
Jack Wilshere who recovered from his ankle injury few weeks ago is expected to take some part against Crystal Palace. The midfielder remained out for three months.
