The return of Ramsey will be particularly important for the Gunners as the Welshman was in fine form before suffering a thigh injury just before the New Year.
The 23-year-old had scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 27 matches in all competitions this season before being struck down by fitness concerns.
As for Kallstrom, the Sweden international has not played for Wenger’s men since making a deadline day loan switch from Spartak Moscow in the January transfer window.
The 31-year-old is an experienced player having also featured for Stade Rennais and Olympique Lyon in the past and also has 108 caps for the national team.
Kallstrom is a box-to-box midfielder who should be able to cover for Wilshere as the Englishman is nursed back to fitness.
