Arsenal FC Forward, Alexis Sánchez, has been ruled out of Saturday’s North London derby for Arsenal having failed to recover from a hamstring injury.
The news is a blow to the Club’s Manager, Arsène Wenger, as he prepares for the match at Tottenham Hotspur.
With the Chilean striker in outstanding form, Danny Welbeck rejoins the squad having been out for a month with a thigh injury.
“The latest is that Alexis is not ready. He is not far away, the Leicester game (at home next Tuesday) is a possibility.
“He is of course very difficult to keep quiet! He is training but it’s light training”, Wenger stated.
There is also good news about Arsenal’s other injured players.
According to Wenger, both Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are back in training and on Serge Gnabry, he said, “Serge will play on Monday night at Newcastle with Bielik. Bielik is coming along very well.”
