Arsenal attacker Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is prepared to wait for his next first team chance.

While Oxlade-Chamberlain appreciates that he will not begin every game, he is focused on making the most of the chances he does get.

"I'm only 19 years of age and I'm at Arsenal Football Club," he said. "I know I've got to bide my time, and maybe this is one of those times. Just to get a start was really important to me, and I know that when I get the opportunity, I've got to make sure I try and take it.

"It's always nice for the confidence when you get a run of games. I had a few a couple of weeks ago, I think I played maybe five or six games on the spin and that was nice. I've got to expect to sometimes be pulled out because we've got so many talented players at this football club."
