Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Debuchy, Abou Diaby, Wojciech Szczesny and Laurent Koscielny all could be fit
Arsenal have been handed a mega-injury boost ahead of their Premier League game against Burnley with SIX players all set to be included.
The Gunners are known for their injury woes in the past few seasons, but excluding Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, they now have a full-fit squad after six faces returned this week.
Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Debuchy and Abou Diaby all ccompeted in U-21 duty this week against Stoke City and all got through it okay, whereas Wojciech Szczesny has passed medical tests and Laurent Koscielny should shake off an ankle problem.
In his press conference today, Arsene Wenger said: “Yeah they [Diaby, Arteta and Wilshere] came through well. They were at a good level physically and they should all be available from now on until the end of the season, hopefully.
“Debuchy is alright. I can only play 3 players over 21 [in the Under 21s] so he is physically fit and ready. He lacks a bit of match practice, competitive edge, but overall he has no medical problems.
“Koscielny will have a test today to see how far we can go with him. He had a scan yesterday, that looks quite good. The real test will be outside today.
“Wojciech has a problem. He has a test today but he has a good chance to be available for Saturday.”
