Aaron Ramsey is in line for an Arsenal start against FA Cup opponents Leeds United.
The Gunners will rotate their squad for the Leeds clash, with the returning midfielder Ramsey back in contention for the first time in almost a year.
The Wales international Ramsey, 20, has returned from a loan spell at Nottingham Forest where he was sent by Arsène Wenger to complete his recovery from the broken leg he suffered playing for Arsenal against Stoke City in February of last year.
Ramsey figured in five games in his stint at the City Ground, starting twice, and is back in the Arsenal squad having returned to the club on Wednesday.
"He is doing very well," said Wenger. "He needs to get all his movement and pace back. I still give him one or two months to be completely back. On the psychological front it is reassuring - you never know for sure how it acts on the player's minds but he is not scared."
