Team News: Wenger confirms two big returns but star Arsenal striker remains out for Palace
Alexis Sanchez may start for Arsenal at Crystal Palace this weekend
ARSENE WENGER says he expects Hector Bellerin and Alexis Sanchez fit for Arsenal's clash at Crystal Palace on Sunday (13:30).
 
The Gunners manager started Sanchez on the bench during their 2-0 defeat to West Ham last weekend, only to field the Chilean for the final 20 minutes.
Sanchez may start, while full-back Bellerin is back from a calf injury and may also get the nod at Selhurst Park.
 
However, the boss confirmed England striker Danny Welbeck is still not fit following an injury sustained at the back end of last season, while Jack Wilshere remains out with a leg fracture.
"Compared to last week's game we haven't lost anybody," he said.
 
"Bellerin is back available and other injuries like Welbeck and Wilshere are not back.
"Jack is back in training but I thought at the start it will be six to eight weeks but it could be three to four so that is positive news."
Provisional Arsenal Squad: Cech, Bellerin, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Coquelin, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Ozil, Ramsey, Sanchez, Giroud, Ospina, Arteta, Debuchy, Cazorla, Walcott, Gabriel, Chambers, Gibbs.
