Team news: The Ox, Flamini and Arteta

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Arsene Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Saturday's game against West Ham United:

on Oxlade-Chamberlain…
It's a classic hamstring. That means he will be out for three weeks, four weeks maximum. He will not be available for England as well.

on the frustration for Oxlade-Chamberlain…
It's very frustrating for him because he played more games than ever this season. In the last two months I feel he was a bit in and out. He has shown again on Monday night what an important player he can be for Arsenal and for England. It's a shame that in the final sprint and he's not there.

on how the Ox reacts mentally…
How much I don’t know but it is affecting him because he loves to play. He is keen to play for England and I think it is a big blow for him. He knows as well that it is the type of injury where you can recover quickly and come back. But it is not an ideal moment.

on England squad announcement…
It's coming too soon for Jack Wilshere and Oxlade-Chamberlain.

on Jack Wilshere…
I don’t know how long it will be before he returns because we have to respect the progression of his training.

on Flamini and Gabriel…
Flamini is back in the group today and available for selection. Gabriel should be back on Sunday.

on when Arteta will return…
In fact he’s in full training today. I think three weeks.
