Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain reveals which Arsenal player is "crucial" to their success
Francis Coquelin is available for selection ahead of Arsenal's match against Olympiakos
Francis Coquelin is "crucial" to Arsenal's success on the pitch, according to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.
 
The Gunners romped to victory on Saturday as they defeated Claudio Ranieri's Leicester 5-2 but Coquelin missed out due to a knee injury.
The Frenchman is in line to face Olympiakos tomorrow night (7.45pm) as Arsene Wenger's side look to get their first win of the Champions League campaign.
 
And Oxlade-Chamberlain has been praising his team-mate ahead of his return.
"Francis has always been an amazing player," the England international said.
"When you're at a club like Arsenal, sometimes it can be hard to find opportunities, but he's someone who has a great attitude.
 
"Sometimes going out on loan can be hard for players to do but he's gone out on loan, proved himself by playing well then came back and took his opportunity. 
"He's someone that I love having in the team. When I think about Arsenal I think he's a massive vocal part of our team, and he proves that week after week and in training as well.
