There is good and bad news for the Gunners.
Ahead of the Premier League clash with Swansea City at the weekend, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed some injury updates that probably won’t please Gunners fans.
Influential forward Theo Walcott is likely to be out for five weeks says the manager, although Santi Cazorla could be back sooner than expected.

Wenger is more positive about important midfield duo Mathieu Flamini and Aaron Ramsey, who both face late fitness tests ahead of the clash at the Liberty Stadium.

Ramsey will of course be vital for the north London side in any success they hope to have during a tricky away tie with the Swans.
The Welshman has been arguably the club’s best player in 2013/14, scoring seven goals in eight matches and dominating the midfield.
In Swansea Wenger will be up against a team that likes to play a similar passing style to Arsenal and so far this year have been more accurate and consistent in this department.
However, it is the Gunners that have got the results and their position at the top of the table currently is not by accident, as the side have ripped through several teams – largely thanks to the influence of record signing Mesut Ozil.
