Arsenal reaping rewards of returning players - Gibbs

Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs is delighted that there is almost a full roster of players to choose from for the remainder of the season.

The Gunners have had a number of injuries to key players throughout the season but the left-back can now see a distinct change in the playing personnel as the club look towards a top-three finish.

"I think you have to give credit to the players who played while the others were out," Gibbs said.

"People don't realise that we basically had half a squad at one stage and the team was just down to its bare bones.

"But obviously now we have a bigger squad, we can rotate more, players won't be as tired and the team looks a lot stronger. You can obviously see the benefits from that.

"Everybody has come together now and we have overcome a difficult period. We need to be consistent like this now for the rest of the season."
