Arsenal midfielders fit for weekend

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger confirmed midfielders Francis Coquelin and Mesut Ozil have been cleared to face Swansea City this weekend.

"[Ozil] told us he’s completely fit," Wenger told the club website in his pre-match press conference on Friday. "We’ll see that today, if we have no bad news today. I see him later. I expect him to be available, especially because he’s only played one half, so he doesn’t need to be rested on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the French manager had mixed news on the rest of the squad. While Coquelin has been passed fit to return from a knee injury that kept him out for three weeks, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud are still unavailable.

"Giroud will not be available for Saturday and Aaron Ramsey will not be available, but Francis Coquelin is back available and apparently we have good news."
