Team news: Who's fit to face Swansea?

13/14: Arsenal 3-1 Stoke City - Aaron Ramsey

Arsene Wenger revealed the following fitness updates at his pre-match press conference on Friday:

on the latest team news…
Overall we don't have any more injuries than we had before the West Brom game. Flamini has a small shoulder problem. Ramsey we have to check him today [Friday]. I believe that there is nobody really injured from the West Brom game.

on whether Flamini and Ramsey could miss Swansea…
I don't think so. I'm quite optimistic about them. Ramsey has a little thigh problem but he should be alright. He has a test. He is going back to Wales, certainly, for him it is always special. But you know Aaron Ramsey is a tough boy. He has a test and I think he will get through. No [I wouldn't want to take a risk on him].

on Santi Cazorla…
Santi Cazorla is on schedule [to return] after the international break.

on Walcott and how his surgery went…
As well as it could go. There were no complications. You know sometimes you open and you find an unexpected problem. It was very simple.

on when Walcott could return...
Optimistic, three weeks. Realistic, five.
