Arsenal Injury News
Reports from the Daily Mail have now suggests that Arsenal have received a double injury boost, as Spaniard Mikel Arteta and Frenchman Mathieu Flamini are all set to return to the side for the game against Watford next weekend. The latter has not been given sufficient game-time in recent times, yet became a hero in the north London derby after scoring a brace during the Gunners’ Capital One Cup win over Spurs at White Hart Lane.
This had urged the French manager to retain him the 31 year old former Milan man in the squad for his side’s clash against Leicester City, though things did not work out an he went off injured and eventually did not feature against Olympikos and Manchester United.
33-year-old Arteta replaced Flamini at the King Power Stadium playing out the rest of the game though the Spaniard also suffered a hamstring problem and was side-lined since then.
Despite that, it seems the duo will now be back for the game against Watford, which would be a huge boost for Arsene Wenger.
