Alexis Sanchez in Arsenal plans for Palace match
Posted Saturday, January 20, 2018 by PA
Arsene Wenger insists Alexis Sanchez could feature against Crystal Palace on
Saturday despite the Arsenal manager saying a move to Manchester United is
“likely” to happen.
Sanchez was left out at Bournemouth as his future remains in doubt, but Wenger could bring him back against the Eagles after he trained with the first team on Friday morning as a potential transfer to Old Trafford rumbles on.
Mesut Ozil is available following a knee problem and defenders Laurent
Koscielny and Nacho Monreal (both ankle) are also pushing to return but Olivier Giroud (hamstring) is not in contention while Santi Cazorla (Achilles) is a
long-term absentee.
Injury-hit Palace will have Joel Ward and Yohan Cabaye available for selection.
Defender Ward has been suffering with a groin problem and has not played for almost seven weeks, while midfielder Cabaye has recovered from muscle fatigue.
However, Eagles manager Roy Hodgson remains without Scott Dann, Jeffrey Schlupp, Connor Wickham and Jason Puncheon (all knee), Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Andros Townsend (both ankle), and Mamadou Sakho (calf).
