Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has told the club’s official website that Alexandre Lacazette should be available to face Wolves this evening.
Arsenal were fearful that they may be left without Lacazette, when the French striker damaged his neck playing against Manchester United at the weekend.
Lacazette went into an aerial challenge with Paul Pogba, but ended up landing awkwardly and having to come off.
However, the problem is not thought to be a serious one, and Arteta is hoping to have Lacazette available to lead the line for Arsenal tonight.
“We have to follow the protocols, that we have to test him and make an x-ray. He was completely fine after the game, he was fine yesterday and he has slept well. I’m expecting him to be available,” he said.
If Lacazette is fit then Arsenal are likely to start him from the off this evening.
Lacazette has shaken off his rusty early season form and now has put in some very encouraging performances in recent weeks.
If Arsenal can continue their momentum by picking up a win this evening, then their position in the Premier League table may start to look very healthy.
The Gunners are currently in 10th place in the standings, but a victory this evening could take them up as high as sixth.
