Champions Chelsea cancel Premier League title parade after Manchester attack
And while Wenger has been rotating his forwards quite frequently lately, Welbeck is hoping to be a more regular starter next season.
Arsenal midfielder Gedion Zelalem has been ruled out for up to nine months after tearing his ACL playing for the U.S in the U20 World Cup.
In front of Cech Arsenal are facing an injury crisis.
The Arsenal defence is Wenger’s main concern as Laurent Koscielny is banned and fellow centre-back Gabriel is out injured.
“Alexis needs to go through some tests”, Wenger said. The uncertainty surrounding Gibbs will further add to the dilemma about his options at left wing-back, but Arsenal are hopeful the England global will recover sufficiently by Saturday. “We had a scare about his cruciate, but it’s only a medial knee ligament, so the positive is that he avoids surgery”.
“We still think about it”, Moses added. “He is still sick at the moment, and has not trained yet”.
“We have got a new manager here who is willing to give everyone an opportunity, ” said Moses. “I have to listen to medical people”.
Nacho Monreal will have to be deployed on the left-side of the back three while Rob Holding is nearly certain to retain his place in the defence. “It’s absolutely unbelievable and unpredictable”, Wenger said.
“I don’t care about me, I care about us winning the game on Saturday”.
“In competition you don’t really realise what is happening all around, we live in our bubble, isolated from all of that”.

Hazard went on a bit of a run and put the ball in the net. Zelalem has just returned from a disappointing loan spell with Dutch second division side VVV Venlo where he failed to play regularly. “I haven’t played this year”.
Speaking to Arsenal’s Official Website, the German explains that he feels he “owes” the club a huge performance this Saturday and is ready for extra time and penalties if needed.
“I have not made up my mind yet”.
