Henry and Arteta Expected Back For Villa Cup Tie

by David on January 24, 2012

Thierry Henry and Mikel Arteta are both expected to be fit for Arsenal’s FA Cup tie against Aston Villa on Sunday.

Henry failed a late fitness test on Sunday on his injured calf, which is why he missed Sunday’s loss to Manchester United. Arteta has missed the last two games due to a calf injury also, but has reportedly told Wenger to count him in for the fourth-round tie at the Emirates Stadium this weekend.

Defenders Bacary Sagna and Kieran Gibbs, who have both been sidelined with injuries, are also set to return to training this week, but midfielder Jack Wilshere is not expected to be back for another month.

Wenger should learn to bench Ramsey, Walcot, Arshavin and play Benayoun or Rosicsky, Ryo or Ox, Park or Henry respectively. we need to win FA cup, finish 4th on the league log, go as far as we can in Champions league. And when Wilshere returns, I want wenger to play Sagna, Vernalaen, kolsieny, Gibbs, Song, Arteta, Wilshere and any other three forward apart from arshavin, Walcot, Chamak against any team even the Barca. while we wait for Santos , Wenger should sale the likes of Djourou, Chamk, Arshavin, Ramsey, Diaby and buy at least three good players with money realized from these sales.

I pray to God for quick recovery of my Jack,I think for now the best option we have in mid field is Rosicky but as for Ramsey,I don’t have confident in him,the combination of Arteta and Rosicky will give us goog result.
May God restore our glory back to us.
