| Arsene Wenger has no fresh injury concerns ahead of Norwich clash |
ARSENE WENGER has confirmed there are no fresh injuries ahead of Arsenal's clash with Norwich on Sunday (4:15pm).
The Gunners travel to Carrow Road hoping to get their first Premier League win of November following a 1-1 draw with Tottenham and Saturday's 2-1 defeat away to West Brom.
They bounced back by beating Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 in the Champions League last night and will also be boosted by the return of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain from injury.
But Wenger admits Sunday will be too soon for midfielder Mikel Arteta and forward Theo Walcott, while Francis Coquelin faces three months on the sidelines.
Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky are Arsenal's long-term absentees.
Wenger said: "We should have everybody available, the players who played on Tuesday night, plus maybe Chamberlain should be back in the squad.

"Arteta is short term. Coquelin is much longer but the scans are positive because he does not need any surgery - it will be 12 weeks."
On Walcott's availability, he added: "Not for Sunday. He goes through a few tests and steps but the first one was successful.
"He started running again on Tuesday morning and had no reaction. He has no big hurdle to get across today and hopefully he will be successful."
