Arsenal have been boosted by the news that midfield duo Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil could return from injury in the coming weeks.
The Wales international is in contention to make his comeback in the FA Cup semi-final against Wigan Athletic on April 12, while the German could return shortly after.
Ramsey has been out since Boxing Day with a thigh injury, and Ozil injured his hamstring during Arsenal's defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Laurent Koscielny could return from a calf injury to make the squad for the Wigan game, while Jack Wilshere has been tipped to recover from a broken foot before the end of the season.
