MIKEL ARTETA is available for Arsenal in their FA Cup third-round tie against Sunderland after his 45 minute comeback for the under-21s.
The Spaniard has been out since November’s 2-1 defeat by West Brom with a calf problem.
But Wenger also confirmed Tomas Rosicky is close to a return with the Czech international expected to start full training next week.
And Santi Cazorla and Francis Coquelin are both “doing well” according to Wenger in their recovery from knee ligament injuries.
He said: “Nothing’s changed [from the original timescale] with Santi.
“It could be a bit shorter with him because he’s often quicker [to recover] than you expect him to be. Cazorla and Coquelin are doing well.”
