Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will return to the squad for Sunday's Premier League match at Stoke City.
The 19-year-old winger missed the Gunners' goalless draw against Sunderland last weekend because of an ankle injury.
"He should be back in the training group from Friday," Wenger told the club's official website. "He has not practised with the team yet but he should be in the squad for Stoke."
Wenger also said that Laurent Koscielny was likely to be fit for the game at Liverpool on Sunday, September 2.
A calf injury forced the defender out of his side's season opener against the Black Cats.
