Arsene Wenger has updated the fans ahead of the upcoming game with West Ham.
Arsenal won a hard-fought tie against QPR yesterday afternoon, goals from Alexis Sanchez and Tomas Rosicky did the job for Arsene Wenger’s men in a truly excellent performance from start to finish.
Apart from, of course, one moment in particular – Olivier Giroud’s mad headbutt on Nedum Onouha.
His moment of irrational moment Arsenal will be without Giroud for the game with West Ham tomorrow.
Wenger has given a brief injury update ahead of the game and admits that while not much has changed, Laurent Koscielny and Theo Walcott might take to the field. But Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who pulled out of the QPR game at the last minute, is unlikely to feature:
“[Laurent] Koscielny has a chance, he will have a test tomorrow. He has a little chance. [Alex] Chamberlain has an even smaller chance.
“[Theo Walcott] was in the squad on Friday but it was difficult to bring him on when it was tight and we had to defend. He’s not far away.”
Of course long-term absentees Jack Wilshere, Mesut Ozil and Mikel Arteta remain out of action.
