    Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of the visit of Paris Saint-Germain to Emirates Stadium on Wednesday night:
    on the latest team news…
    Basically everybody is recovered from Saturday. We left Walcott and Ramsey on recovery but they should be alright for tomorrow.

    on Lucas…
    He’s back in training already, but not with the squad. He’s ahead of schedule, yes.

    on Santi Cazorla
    At the moment I’ve given a little bit up on that, I don’t know how far he is. It looks to me that he’s making progress but as long as a player is not in full-time training with the squad, it’s very difficult to set targets. It’s not a big injury that will harm his future but it’s an inflammation at the back of his Achilles and it’s always very difficult on inflammations to give a set time.

    on Mathieu Debuchy
    He is close now. He played only 70 minutes in the under-23s, I was hesitating to include him tomorrow. But for me, still, it is not enough competition to say I can throw him in in a Champions League game with the intensity of one of those games, and that he will be comfortable. I think he still needs one or two weeks. If he gets through this week well, I think he will come back into the group.

    Sorry for the late thread. My head has been throbbing all week and I just rolled out of bed tonight to quickly get this up.

    I hope this Cazorla injury doesn't turn into one of those season long specials we always seem to end up with

    Carzola's injury is beginning to wind me up. He starts the season on form, goes off injured for 4-5mths, then comes back with 4weeks to go. The cycle then repeats itself! He was meant to be off for a couple of weeks, now AW does not have a clue when he will be back. I would like to know what Welbeck's injury record was prior to joining us!

    Good looking front 4. Good looking centre half pairing (and keeper could be worse I suppose... Fabianski Porto away anyone?). Shame about the other four and especially Ramsay being there as he's gash. I'm willing to put my neck on the line and say he'll give the ball away a significantly noticeable number of times tonight.


    Make me eat my words Aaron...

    Iwobi should have taken the shot on there.

    PSG getting from one end of the pitch to the other too easy for my liking need to impose ourselves more we look in fear of them.Midfield is going to be critical we need to step it up.

    Toothless upfront, a shambles at the back.

    Need to step up the pace and keep hold of the ball. We're pedestrian in possession and giving it away far too easily.

    Utter trash so far. We are now well on course to meet Barca in the last 16 and then get dumped out as usual. Same ****, different season.

    We're the home team and yet we've had:

    No shots on or OFF target.

    Less possession

    Less passes completed.

    Pathetic.

    The difference in quality between Cazorla Bellerin and their replacements is shocking .

    We all like to think that Ozil and Sanchez are world class, but Verrati is showing what a real world class player looks like. Bossing this game.

    Our midfield is utter rubbish PSG getting at our back line at will,we are standing off and letting them walk the ball around on our patch, if we can't compete in football terms then at least get stuck into them instead of watching them totally control the game,
