Arsenal winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain admits he's champing at the bit for a new first team chance.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is happy to bide his time but he will be raring to go if he gets his chance during a run of four games in 12 days.
"I can't say [when I will play], I don't know, that's for the boss to say really," he told Arsenal Player. "I'm just available if ever needed.
"Everyone that comes into the team knows what's expected of them. At the end of the day we all train together at the same tempo and the same intensity so I think whoever steps into the team knows what's expected of them from the fans, from the boss and from each other.
"You're playing for Arsenal, you have to be on top of your game at all times if possible.""There are a lot of games and maybe it is a time where players are going to be rested. It's a lot of work for the body physically so if I am required then I'm ready. I'm looking forward to getting an opportunity and I will try and take my chance.
