ARSENAL RECEIVES SANCHEZ, OZIL AND COQUELIN BOOST AHEAD OF CHELSEA CLASH

Ozil and Sanchez
Arsene Wenger today confirmed Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez are set to return to faceChelsea on Sunday.

Wenger also delivered another huge boost as he said Francis Coquelin, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky are also on their way back.


Mirror Sport revealed the huge injury boost for Arsenal’s title chances and Wenger was delighted that his big guns are returning.
Ozil missed the trip to Stoke with a toe injury, Sanchez has been out for six weeks after hamstring trouble while Coquelin has had knee problem and the other pair have not played this season.

Gunners boss Wenger, hinting that Sanchez could be on the bench, said: “The good news is that Ozil certainly will be available, and Sanchez the next two days will be decisive but, this time, I think he will make it for selection.

“Coquelin is back in full training today, ahead of schedule. Welbeck will be in full training next week. So those are positive news. Rosicky I think will play for the under-21s tomorrow night.

“A few players are coming back. We're going into a very important period now, so to have people available is important for us.”
Wenger insisted they will not rush Sanchez back after last time he broke down and that means the Chile forward may have to be content with a place on the bench on Sunday.

“The doubt is about him having been out for a long time, and the risk of a set-back. To be clear on all the tests is one thing. To be clear after training is another,” said Wenger.

“But the intensity of a big game you can never replicate in training, but you can make the risk minimal. I'm cautious with him because we cannot afford a set-back, which would mean a very long period out.
