He scored two and set up the third in the Champions League win over Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday and, according to Wenger, is likely to recover in time to play against Norwich City in the Premier League tomorrow despite tweaking his hamstring in midweek.

Worse still for Wenger were three more injury blows to Alexis Sanchez, Santi Cazorla and Laurent Koscielny.

“He says it is a kick on his hamstring”, manager Arsene Wenger told reporters after Arsenal‘s 1-1 draw with Norwich. “I would have rested him today but he felt perfectly alright before the game and he declared that he had no problem”.

“Last week as you said, we had a bad result against West Brom and so did Manchester City [against Liverpool] so it compacted the whole table”.

But Lewis Grabban leveled before half time after easily brushing off Gabriel Paulista’s challenge in meeting Robbie Brady’s throughball.

Alexis Sanchez was forced off on the hour mark after picking up a hamstring injury, further adding to Arsene Wenger’s injury list ahead of the Christmas schedule.

“I think if it doesn’t go to plan I’d be criticised for putting him in, he’d be criticised for playing, but management is about making decisions you think are right when everyone else probably thinks it’s wrong”, Neil said. The Gunners tried to land players like Grzegorz Krychowiak and Karim Benzema, but they failed to bring new faces to the team.

Just how many injuries do Arsenal have? “At the moment we are a bit short because of injuries”. “We don’t want to have to play catch up but we will see at the end of the season and we will want to bounce back and get back to winning ways on Saturday”.

Arsenal midfielder Francis Coquelin will again be missing after being ruled out for three months with knee ligament damage, while Mikel Arteta and Theo Walcott are also sidelined.

West Ham United are now without a win in four league games following a 1-1 draw at home to West Bromwich Albion.

From a campaign which promised so much, all the familiar problems and failings are back to leave Arsenal looking vulnerable even if they are just two points off the top.
