Arsene Wenger Rules Injured Trio Out of Sunday's Premier League Trip to Burnley

Published on: 30 September 2016

"?Arsene Wenger has given the latest team news as his side prepare to travel to Turf Moor to take on Burnley this weekend, and three players have been singled out as missing the clash through injury.


According to the "?Independent, midfielder Aaron Ramsey (hamstring) and striker Olivier Giroud (toe) have been indefinitely ruled out of the squad, as well as Francis Coquelin, who picked up a knee injury in the side's emphatic 3-0 home victory over league rivals Chelsea.

However, a positive to take from this news is that the latter of this trio, Coquelin, is already back in light training, and could be back in contention for a place in the starting XI by next week. 


It was thought that the Frenchman would be out for a significant period after a reoccurring knock from last season appeared to rule him out for weeks, however his recovery has been better than expected.


Speaking of his latest set of injuries within the squad, Arsene gave an update on each of his absentee's: "Aaron Ramsey should be available after the international break.

"Giroud will be out, he will not come back. [Coquelin] is looking much better but he will still not be ready. The ligament is not as damaged as we thought but we have to be careful."


Arsenal are looking to continue their fine run of form both domestically and in Europe with an unbeaten run of nine fixtures in all competitions, and currently sit in third position after four wins from six league matches.
