Arsene Wenger anxious Alexis Sanchez is jaded

“The arch of Wembley in French colours was very significant. England handled this situation with a lot of class”.

“I will look at how deeply they are affected by it because sometimes it hits you more two or three days later than on the night”.

Wenger indicated that he might leave Koscielny out of the squad to allow the player to recover from the disgusting events that rocked Paris.

Özil has provided 10 assists in 11 league games this season which is the best record in Europe’s top five leagues – England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain.

“I didn’t recognise him as a player on Tuesday”.

“At a few point I will give him a break. If not, I will not play him”.

Wenger, who attended the game and was caught on camera singing along to “La Marseillaise”, said that despite the attacks, which left 129 people dead and more than 350 injured, it was correct for the match to go ahead.

“What was targeted was the way of life, basically: Football, going out, listening to music”. There’s not much offensive positions where I can rotate. “You also wonder what can change inside the country and you have to trust politicians to make the right decisions to counter-attack against that”.

Walcott is the flawless example of a player using all the leverage he can get to force a big contract from his employers – benefitting twice from timely runs of form to get big pay rises in January 2013 and then last summer, just when it seemed his contract might run down in its final year.

“This is all about being sensible and proportionate and ensuring our fans feel they are in a safe environment”, Miles said.

Furthermore, Sanchez has the best shots-per-game ratio of any player in the Premier League in away games, with his total of 5.3 being 1.1 better than Harry Kane – his nearest competitor for that accolade.

“I like Cech, I think he is an fantastic goalkeeper”.

Arsenal head into Saturday’s game in second place in the Premier League table and level on points with leaders Manchester City after 12 games of the season.

Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain won’t return to full training until Monday so they remain unavailable for selection and join Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky on the sidelines.
