Arsene Wenger has announced the following team news ahead of the West Bromwich Albion game:
on Sagna's fitness...
He will not be fit. He has a mild hamstring injury and will be out for the weekend and for [the international matches].
on whether Carl Jenkinson will replace Sagna...
Yes, it will be him.
on losing Sagna…
It's always a blow because he is a very complete defender. He can defend well, he is good in the air, he can attack well as well, and he's a winner-type, so of course for us it is a handicap. But Jenkinson had a good start to the season as well and he's growing as well as a player. I am sure he will do very well.
on Santi Cazorla (ankle)…
He is not in contention. But he could be not far after the international break.
on Yaya Sanogo…
He is on a good way after his back problem. He will be the same, after the international break.
