Ramsey, who scored in the 3-1 win against Hull City, picked up a knock in the early stages of the game at the KC Stadium but carried on until he was replaced in the second half by the returning Jack Wilshere and it appears the Welshman is fine.
Meanwhile club captain Arteta has not played a first team game for the Gunners since the end of November and has been back in training since the start of April, but faces a fight to get back into the side with Francis Coquelin in such good form in central midfield.
Oxlade-Chamberlain has been out of action since the FA Cup quarter-final victory over Manchester United in March and there had been fears that he would miss the remainder of the season with a hamstring injury but those concerns have now been erased.
The Gunners will take a huge step in securing a top three finish should they avenge the 2-1 defeat at the Liberty Stadium in the reverse fixture against the Swans earlier in the season.
