19 August 2016 07:58

Arsene Wenger admits he may take what he considers a gamble and recall a number of players for Arsenal's trip to face Premier League champions Leicester on Saturday.

Laurent Koscielny, Mesut Ozil and Olivier Giroud were all rested for the opening weekend defeat to Liverpool after their Euro 2016 exertions but Wenger may look to involve the trio at the King Power Stadium.

Aaron Ramsey (hamstring) and Alex Iwobi (thigh) are missing after picking up injuries against Liverpool while Gabriel (ankle), Per Mertesacker, Danny Welbeck and Carl Jenkinson (all knee) are also sidelined.

Provisional Squad: Cech, Ospina, Debuchy, Bellerin, Holding, Koscielny, Chambers, Gibbs, Monreal, Coquelin, Elneny, Xhaka, Cazorla, Wilshere, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Sanchez, Campbell, Walcott, Akpom, Giroud.
