Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger won't field Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain against Olympique Marseille.
He has not featured in an Arsenal squad for three matches, despite scoring on his full debuts in the Carling Cup and Champions League and bagging a hat-trick for England Under-21s.
"He'll play next week certainly in the Carling Cup," said Wenger. "Maybe he will be involved Sunday (against Stoke) but he is getting there, he is getting sharper and sharper."
