Team News: Sanchez doubt for Watford clash, Arsenal trio return but key players remain out

Alexis Sanchez is a doubt for Watford clash following international duty

ARSENAL forward Alexis Sanchez (hip) is set to undergo a late fitness test ahead of Saturday's trip to Watford (5:30pm).

 

Arsene Wenger has admitted the Chilean, who scored twice against Manchester United in the last outing, returned from international duty with a slight knock.

Centre-half Laurent Koscielny could return from a hamstring injury, while midfielders Mathieu Flamini (hamstring) and Mikel Arteta (dead leg) are expected to be available for selection.

 

The Gunners remain without Jack Wilshere (fibula), Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky (both knee) as the trio continue their rehabilitation.

Arsenal provisional Squad: Cech, Monreal, Gabriel, Mertesacker, Bellerin, Coquelin, Ramsey, Cazorla, Ozil, Sanchez, Walcott, Ospina, Gibbs, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Giroud, Campbell, Debuchy, Chambers, Koscielny, Arteta, Flamini.
