Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed that defender Mathieu Debuchy will return from injury to start for his side in their Champions League match against Galatasaray.
The France international has been out of action since September with an ankle injury, but will slot in at right-back against the Turkish team due to the absences of Kieran Gibbs and Laurent Koscielny.
Wenger also revealed the rest of his starting lineup for the clash as injuries have limited his options, with Danny Welbeck, Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez all missing from the trip.
He told reporters: "To make it as simple as possible, I have 11 experienced players and six young players on the bench. That means I have nothing to hide.
"Debuchy is back with us and will play, Szczesny is back in goal, Mertesacker, Chambers will play because Gibbs did not travel, Bellerin at left-back.
"Then you have Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ramsey, Flamini, Podolski, Sanogo and Campbell. The players who needed it stayed behind - like Cazorla, Sanchez, Gibbs, Giroud is not qualified and Welbeck, who could have travelled but recently had a little knee problem, so took advantage of that to rest him."
Arsenal have already qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League, but can win Group D if they beat Galatasaray and Borussia Dortmund lose to Anderlecht.
