Arsenal without Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey for Swansea clash

14 October 2016 08:19

Arsenal will still be without Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey for Saturday's Premier League clash at home to Swansea.

The pair were expected to be available after the international break but manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed Giroud (toe) and Ramsey (hamstring) are still short of match fitness.

Francis Coquelin is fit, as is Mesut Ozil, but the game comes too early for Carl Jenkinson (knee) to be involved, with Per Mertesacker and Danny Welbeck (both knee) further away from a return.

Provisional squad: Cech, Ospina, Debuchy, Bellerin, Holding, Gabriel, Koscielny, Mustafi, Gibbs, Monreal, Elneny, Xhaka, Coquelin, Cazorla, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez, Walcott, Iwobi, Lucas, Akpom.
