Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Saturday's trip to face Sunderland at the Stadium of Light.
on the team news…
Everybody should be available for Saturday and we have no new injuries - that's good news. So we can prepare well for the games this week. We have a very important week coming up with three different competitions, the Premier League, the Champions League and then the FA Cup. So it is good to have no new injuries.
on Gibbs and Chamakh…
Both are in contention to be in the squad, there is no reason anymore to keep them out. But I will have to decide that tomorrow. Chamakh is now at normal fitness and Gibbs is getting closer as well.
on Jenkinson…
He is not far from full training, maybe two weeks. [He is running] normally.
on Frimpong…
He had surgery on Thursday night unfortunately. He had what we have seen so many times; one cruciate [goes] and then the other as well. It was a case for Pires, for Edu and now Frimpong. I believe that it is unfortunate. The fortunate situation is that we could have surgery straight away and that this threat over his head is now gone. It's a tough time because he was doing very well at Wolves. But hopefully we can get him back in the Autumn.
