Welbeck has not played since making a substitute appearance in the goalless draw against Chelsea last month. The former Manchester United striker is still struggling with a knee problem and is set to miss the game against West Brom, which will leave him in a race against time to be fit for the cup final.
However, Wenger did provide some positive news regarding midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who has returned to full training and could be involved against the Baggies at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday:
“We have no basic injuries from our last game.” The Frenchman said at his pre-match press conference. (via Mirror Online)
“Players back? Danny Welbeck no, Chamberlain is back in full training today and Debuchy as well though they may be a bit short.” he revealed
The England international has missed the last 11 consecutive games after picking up a hamstring injury during the 2-1 win against Manchester United in the FA Cup quarter-final at Old Trafford back in March and there had been concerns that he may not play again this season.
