Wenger Confident Of Arsenal UCL Progress, Coquelin Out For 3 Months

It’s a relief for Wenger, who had to confirm that Francis Coquelin will be out for at least two months a knee injury following the game against Westbrom, as reported by the website.

Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Dinamo Zagreb on Tuesday night gave them a chance of qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League competition.

Mourinho did go on to say that the chance for the Gunners to qualify was still there for the taking.

“We did our bit, Bayern Munich did their bit and it is now a grand finale for us in the last game and we are literally entering the play-off already.

That means you basically accept doping”, said the Arsenal boss.

Asked if he was confident, Wenger replied: “I believe we can do it”. It might not be enough to just do that, but if you lead 1-0 you can win 2-0. It is a must-win for us and the task is very clear.

“You have to trust UEFA and the organisation over there to ensure it is handled well”. “It is the Champions League and there are never any problems on that front usually”.

Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil scores their first goal on Tuesday night in their Champions League contest at the Emirates Stadium.

Ahead of the game, Arsene Wenger has been speaking at his pre-match press conference this morning and has given reporters a team news and injury update. “I have an opportunity to be back in the team and I will try to prove every game that I can be in the team”. To take over you have to adapt to the players you’ve got and the way we play now suits us. Giroud had a little problem with his ankle over the weekend but I made a decision to give him a breather.

“It was important for us to respond straight away as confidence can drop quickly”. “I’ve no doubt it’ll be an entertaining game and one where we’re hoping to be on the end of a right result”.

“I’m not sure that 11 is capable of going there and getting the result they need”, Gerrard told BT Sport.

“We tried to do our best”.

“They got on with each other and we are happy for them”, Mertesacker said of the influential pair.

“They were really pressing”.
