Arsenal could be without record signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang against Everton due to a sickness bug.
Aubameyang completed a deadline day move to the Emirates for a club record £56million as part of a convoluted process that saw Borussia Dortmund sign Michy Batshuayi on loan from Chelsea and Olivier Giroud move to Stamford Bridge.
However, Arsenal fans may have to wait to see him in action. Wenger has confirmed that he is struggling to be ready for Saturday’s home clash against Everton.
“Aubameyang, I have to assess how well he is physically today and how well he feels,” Wenger told a media conference.
“He had a fever so he could not practice a lot – he started yesterday, was still not completely well. I have to assess with the medical department how fit he can be.”
It is hoped the Armenia captain can reignite his relationship with old Dortmund colleague Aubameyang when both men are fully fit.
“They are players who know each other well, they have had success together [before],” added Wenger.
“I hope that they can link up like they did [at Dortmund].”
