The Arsenal boss has now said Arteta will be out for just six weeks, not the long term absence initially feared, when it was announced yesterday that the midfielder had had surgery on a bone spur on his left ankle.
Theo Walcott and Mesut Özil are both fit to face Manuel Pellegrini’s side whilst Kieran Gibbs will face a late injury test after sitting out Arsenal’s 3-0 win over Stoke last weekend.
Wenger also refused to be drawn on whether David Ospina would retain his place in the Arsenal goal after club no. 1 Wojciech Szczesny was dropped for the Gunners last two matches.
