    Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Saturday's Premier League clash at Leicester City:
    on team news…
    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.

    on Coquelin…
    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.

    on Wilshere, Welbeck and 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.

    on Wilshere’s operation…
    It was very successful and touch wood hopefully all goes well now.

    Coq is confirmed out with injury, in that case I'd start the beast Flamini in his place.

    On a serious note if Coq isn't fit I start Flamini/Chambers as DM. Probably the former as Chambers hasn't played DM lately and Flamini is living on a high right now and as much as I love Arteta his legs are suited only for cameo sub appearances now.

    My bad, thought you meant start both in this game.

    Arteta is best suited not playing at all I think....I believe he only made one tackle that won a ball on Wednesday.

    Worrying about Coq that Wenger says "He has a little chance for Tuesday, and a bigger chance for Man United. It is very difficult to be definite today."

    Isn't that usually Arsenal code for 'we don't know what the **** is wrong with him, and he's more than likely out for the season'?

    It is really the ONE injury we cannot afford.....as we all knew, including Wenger.

    Think Coq will be all right, this (hopefully) seems like one of those short term knocks, rather than a serious bad one. With a player like Coq and his rough style, he will probably get a few of these types of injuries.

    Ramsey instead of shooting or passing, fluffs it, they hit us on the counter, and score...****ing great.

    Most obvious foul ever on Ramsey, as usual refs decide not to give a foul for Arsenal .
