Oxlade-Chamberlain in contention for FA Cup action - Arsenal boss Wenger

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is in with a chance of forcing his way into Arsenal's side for next weekend's FA Cup final.

The 21-year old came on for the final 13 minutes of the Gunners' 4-1 win over West Bromwich Albion on Sunday in his first appearance since injuring his hamstring in March and could now feature in Saturday's cup final against Aston Villa at Wembley.

"He's not completely there to start at the full pace of a game. He can play. One more week of preparation will help him," said Wenger.

Oxlade-Chamberlain replaced goalscorer Jack Wilshere in the 77th minute as Arsenal ended the Premier League season in third position.
