Arsenal back to full strength as Wenger welcomes back Walcott and Arshavin

Fulham v ARSENAL Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has been given a huge lift ahead of Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash at Fulham as Andrey Arshavin and Theo Walcott are available. Arshavin has missed four matches with a groin problem, while Walcott has not played this season due to a side strain - but both are in the squad for Craven Cottage. Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is still struggling with a stomach problem so Vito Mannone could be in goal. 'Arshavin should be back and (Robin) Van Persie should be all right despite a little problem,' Wenger said. 'We have a test tomorrow with him and Almunia is still a week away. 'We are very pleased because Arshavin gives us an attacking option that is always very interesting and away from home he's always very efficient as well. 'He's a guy who turns up at the right moment and can always create chances or score himself.'
