Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky will make his return to the Arsenal squad for Tuesday's Champions League Group F game against Napoli at the Emirates. The experienced midfielder had suffered a hamstring injury in September while playing for his national team. "Rosicky is coming back into the squad," said Wenger. "He can play in all the offensive positions. I'm very happy that he is back because he is very influential in our game."
Arsenal are still missing some important players though, here's the current injury list: Theo Walcott (stomach), Santi Cazorla (ankle), Yaya Sanogo (back), Lukas Podolski (hamstring), Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (knee) and Abou Diaby (knee). Wenger has highlighted 25-year-old striker Gonzalo Higuain as a threat, but did not reveal details of any move for Higuain as the player was heavily linked to Arsenal during the summer before moving from Real Madrid to Napoli.
"It is not the best moment to talk about transfers," Wenger said. "He was on the market, as you know, and several clubs were in for him. I do not think it needs to be talked about again. We have to be organised against Napoli because they are very good on the counter-attack. The four players that contribute the most up front are Higuain, Jose Callejon, Lorenzo Insigne and Marek Hamsik, who is a vital player and gives the most assists in their team."
Here are the odds for the match at Bet365:
