Arsenal criticised for taking 14-minute flight to Norwich

Alexis Sanchez is an injury doubt for the match, but Aaron Ramsey and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are both fighting fit and are expected to play a part.- Mailonline.

“[Against] West Brom it is true we had a bad result but it was very unfortunate to lose this game, [and] we have shown that with a good and quick response on Tuesday night”.

Sometimes when we played at Olympiacos we had already qualified, this time we go to Olympiacos heading to qualify.

Arsenal have been criticised by an environmental group for choosing to fly to Norwich but Arsene Wenger says they had little option.

He said, “I’m a bit negative to analyse now the Premier League teams because you know that when you go there, it’s always a special game for them”.

“If there are five or six to go and we are in the race, of course we are contenders”.

“Personally, I don’t think I’ve been as good this season as I have in previous years”, he added.

Touching on the way he plays, Wenger said, “His style is very explosive, it’s a very committed style”.

There was positive news as well for Francis Coquelin, who injured a knee ligament against West Brom, with Wenger confirming the midfielder would not need surgery. We spent £40m on Özil but I still consider it a bargain because the player is top quality.

But the likes of Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck, Tomas Rosicky and Mikel Arteta all in the treatment room alongside Coquelin, with a lack of central midfielders the main issue Wenger is likely to address if he buys in the transfer window.

However the London team has come in for criticism after it was revealed the team will be taking a 14 minute flight to Norwich for Sunday’s game against Norwich City.

Alex Neil’s side have won just once in their last eight games, and are badly lacking in confidence at the moment.

Norwich have managed just one clean sheet in the Premier League this season, a joint-low total (along with Bournemouth).

There are only few teams in world of soccer that can deal with losing a player as capable as Coquelin in the middle of the campaign. “I know people always want to know what will happen in the future but let’s take care of the game on Sunday”.
