Wenger Rules Giroud, Ramsey Out Of EFL Cup Clash

The Danish striker is set to take on the side he played for between 2005 and 2014 after linking up with Forest earlier this month.

So according to Arsene Wenger the Arsenal and France worldwide striker Olivier Giroud has yet to start a single game for the Gunners this season is because he had a long summer and got back late and has not been up to speed. We’ll get chances during the game and then it’s up to us to take them.

“He was sometimes impatient when he was with us”. I jump into a dugout and I’m waiting thinking “come on let’s get started” as we are playing Arsenal.

When he first came through the ranks with Arsenal a lot was expected but a perceived bad attitude, as well as the plethora of attacking talent he was contending with for a first-team spot, meant he never fulfilled his potential with the Gunners. “Nicklas is humble enough and focused enough to show he can fight again”.

‘I’m really looking forward to a great match in a sold-out stadium, I’m sure there’s going to be a great atmosphere, ‘ he said. He could explain it better as to how he assesses his career because he is an honest guy.

Players such as Ben Osborn and Henri Lansbury were both rested on the weekend and are both likely to feature on Tuesday whilst other fringe players may be given the chance to impress Montanier, as look they to create the upset of the round.

“When he makes mistakes, he is big enough to say it is his fault”.

Wenger said striker Olivier Giroud would miss a second straight game with a toe injury, while Ramsey is still not ready to return from the hamstring problem that has kept him out since the first game of the season.
