    Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Sunday's game against Norwich City at Carrow Road:
    on the team news…
    We should have everyone available [from the Zagreb game], the players that played on Tuesday night plus maybe Oxlade-Chamberlain should be back in the squad.

    on Arteta and Coquelin…
    Arteta is short-term but Coquelin as I told you is much longer. The scans are positive because he does not need any surgery but it will be 12 weeks.

    on Theo Walcott
    Not for Sunday. He goes through a few tests and steps but the first one was successful. He started running again on Tuesday morning and had no reaction.

    Hopefully all our players come through the internationals unscathed. And great news that Santi scored for Spain, hopefully he'll start scoring for us!

    I'd drop Sanchez for this, he needs a rest.

    Looks like Oxo will be back along with Ramsey but that Arteta is still out and Theo will be awhile longer, I've heard the 5th Dec but I wouldn't be surprised if he misses the Olympiakos game...

    Still we are beginning to recover a bit from injuries, though I still find the below comment from Mark Lawrenson to be ridiculous - As if having one of the top 2 worst injuries lists in the whole league while your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th choice right wingers out at the same time, together with your 2nd and 3rd strikers, your only DM, and missing an assortment of defenders during the same period wouldn't affect you at all... Idiot!

    Mark Lawrenson
    "If people talk about Arsenal at the moment, they immediately bring up that they have loads of injuries.

    But I was at the Emirates on Tuesday
    for their Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb and eight or nine of the Gunners' starting XI in that game would pretty much all be first choice if they had a fully-fit squad. Aaron Ramsey, who came off the bench in that game, could be fit to start against Norwich too.

    So I think the effects of Arsenal's injury problems have been blown out of proportion a bit, especially when you consider the way they played the other night when Mesut Ozil, Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez were unstoppable.

    It just adds to the evidence that, when it comes to football, Lawrenson knows not of which he speaks.

    Arsenal: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Cazorla, Ramsey, Ozil, Alexis, Giroud

    Subs: Ospina, Debuchy, Gabriel, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Campbell, Chambers, The Jeff

    No real surprises with the team. Ramsey returns, the Ox on the bench. Everything else the same.

    Beginning to get some strength in depth back, besides striker and the glaring hole at DM.

    At this point don't even know what our medical staff are getting paid for, do they get a bonus for every player that get's injured?

    And we just lost Kos, as I said, as soon as we get 2 back, we will lose another 2-3, one in, one out, it's an ever revolving door our medical room.

    How the **** can you blame the club's medical staff for Kos's injury ?
    The lad fell awkwardly and obviously pulled something

    That's why good pressing does. Causes errors and boom 1-0. Sad about Kos but we have Chambers and Gabriel for depth.

    Because they are somehow responsible for that?
