Arsenal duo Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey will both miss the
North London derby due to injury, Arsene Wenger has confirmed.
Ozil was substituted at half-time of the 1-1 Champions League draw
against Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening with a hamstring injury.
While Ramsey, who suffered a thigh strain during Arsenal’s 3-1 win
against West Ham in December, has had to postpone his expected
return date, although Wenger insists the delay is only minor.
Of Ozil, the Arsenal boss said: “He is out. I don’t know for how
long but it is a hamstring injury. There are scans going on.”
While he added of Ramsey: “We have had to defer his comeback to
full training a little so he is not available. He is having difficulties in
the final stages of his rehab. It looks to be short-term.”
Jack Wilshere is already missing for the Gunners, but there is better
news regarding Kim Kallstrom, a loan signing from Spartak
Moscow who is yet to appear due to a back injury.
Kallstrom, alongside Yaya Sanogo, could be named in the squad to
face Tottenham on Sunday.
Kieran Gibbs will have a fitness test on Friday before a decision is
made regarding his inclusion, but Wenger is hopeful Nacho Monreal
will be fit to play.
