Arsenal have received a boost ahead of their tough clash against Manchester United at the weekend. The Gunners have no new injury concern from their last 2 grueling duels but ahead of the clash at old Trafford, Arsenal are set to get key trio back in the squad. Central midfielder Mathieu Flamini, Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott all look ready to return.
The Frenchman has missed Arsenal’s last 3 matches with the Gunners recording 2 wins and a loss but is set to return for the top of the weekend’s clash. His return could see Arteta dropping off to the bench or could allow Ozil switch to the wings and that would mean Rosicky dropping off to the bench should Wenger decide to opt for a midfield trio of Flamini, Arteta and Ramsey. This would be a good decision if we want to win the midfield battle. The same ball winning midfield and formation that made Benitez’s Napoli look so ordinary. If we could dominate a midfield that had Inler with such formation, it would work the same magic against a midfield that has a ‘lost’ Felliani.
The other good news involves Wilshere and Walcott. The English duo have had their fair share of battles with injuries. Walcott had been battling abdominal problems while Wilshere had ankle injuries but both players look set to return, maybe not in the starting team but could have a place on the bench. Wilshere’s presence will give us creativity on the bench should Wenger decide to rest Ozil or Cazorla. Walcott will give us speed and his introduction midway in the 2nd half will leave Manchester United’s full backs and defenders hugely exposed and would also go a long way in protecting our defence. For the fear of been caught on the break, they will have to stay back and defend deeply.
