Arsenal lose Coquelin but Ramsey could return for Zagreb clash

Arsenal’s injury report seems to be getting longer and longer by the day, and the most recent injury to Francis Coquelin will only further complicate things for Arsene Wenger’s plans.

Attack: Aaron Ramsey is back in contention after returning to full training today but the Welshman is unlikely to be risked from the start so Joel Campbell could come back in to to start with Mesut Ozil in attack. Now Arsenal FC are back to the much maligned fourth place after the defeat, and Wenger has to find a few way to deal with the loss of an irreplaceable player.

Francis Coquelin will be out of action for Arsenal for at least two months with a knee injury, Arsene Wenger has confirmed.

“But I cannot be mad at the team because they gave what they could until the last minute but we lost a bit of focus at 1-0 – at 35 minutes we were 1-0 up and then at 45 we were 2-1 down”.

‘It is a hard moment for us yes, ‘ Wenger said [per Daily Mail].

Arsenal are six points off the pace in Group F and have to pick up maximum points from their two remaining games to stand a chance of qualifying for the knockout stages. I think this situation is not the point of this press conference so we don’t need to talk about Ademi.

The Frenchman suffered the damage while tackling West Brom midfielder Claudio Yacob and was replaced by Mikel Arteta.

Ideally we’d rest Alexis Sanchez soon but with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott and Danny Welbeck still out we have limited options so the Chilean worldwide will have to continue on the left wing tomorrow night.

Should Arsenal lose their Champions League match on Tuesday to Dinamo Zagreb, they will be eliminated from the Champions League and fail to qualify for Europa League. A draw would still result in their Champions League elimination but make the Europa League achievable.

Arsenal are set to be without eight players for their important Champions League group game against Dinamo Zagreb at the Emirates on Tuesday, 24 November.
