Santi Cazorla could be back in the Arsenal squad for Saturday's game against Norwich City, Arsene Wenger has said, while Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain still needs more time in training before making his return.
Arsenal have had the entire squad in full training this week for the first time all season after Oxlade-Chamberlain became the last long-term absentee to return after a knee injury.
Cazorla, who has been linked with a move back to Villarreal, returned to training the previous week after missing nearly five months with a knee injury, and Wenger said the Spaniard may already be fit to play again.
"Santi might be in the squad this weekend, I don't know yet. He is available," Wenger told the the club's official website. "Everyone is available, but maybe Oxlade-Chamberlain is not competitive yet."
Jack Wilshere made his first appearance of the season when he came on as a late substitute in the 0-0 at Sunderland on Sunday after recovering from a fractured ankle.
Cazorla would add yet another option for Wenger in midfield, where he now faces a selection dilemma after Mohamed Elneny's impressive displays in recent months. Tomas Rosicky is also back fit from a thigh injury.
Oxlade-Chamberlain is still hoping to play again before the end of season, but will have to wait at least another week before being back in the matchday squad.
"It's Oxlade-Chamberlain's first week in full training now, so I don't think I will select him this weekend," Wenger said.
Arsenal are out of the title race but need a strong finish to the season in order to lock up a Champions League place. And after a disappointing few weeks, with three draws in their last four games, the improved injury situation is at least some good news for Wenger.
"Everyone is training, so that's new for us," the Frenchman said. "That's the first time this season."
