Arsenal boss Wenger excited about Nasri, Eduardo return

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger was delighted to see Samir Nasri get on the scoresheet in their rout of AZ Alkmaar.

The Gunners beat their Champions League opponents 4-1 at Emirates stadium last night.

On Nasri, Wenger told arsenal.com: "He is nearly there. He has shown that today, especially in the first half. In the second half I feel he dipped a little bit. For a guy who has been out a long time he is in reasonable shape."

Wenger also says Eduardo is close to full fitness.

He added: "Eduardo is a super player. I didn't start him tonight because he played two games against Liverpool and Tottenham so I wanted to give him a breather. But Eduardo is a fantastic striker."
