Arshavin set to return for Fulham encounter
By Richard Clarke
Arsène Wenger is expecting to welcome back Andrey Arshavin for the trip to Fulham at the weekend.
The Russian has missed the last couple of games with a groin problem but should be available for the Craven Cottage clash.
Manuel Almunia is still out with a chest infection so Vito Mannone or Wojciech Szczesny will take the gloves. Robin van Persie faces a late fitness test but should be OK.
“We have had Arshavin out [since the international break] and we had a problem with Van Persie during the week,” said Wenger. “But Arshavin should be back and Van Persie should be all right too. We have a test tomorrow with him.
“Almunia is still short, still a week away. Normally Mannone [would deputise] but we are 48 hours away from the game.”
