LONDON - Arsenal midfielder Samir Nasri
and striker Nicklas Bendtner have returned to training following
their recovery from injury, the Premier League club said.
Second-placed Arsenal have been without Frenchman Nasri for
three weeks due to a hamstring problem, while Dane Bendtner has
been out of action since injuring his thigh against Tottenham
Hotspur on October 31.
"The list of injuries is going down a bit," manager Arsene
Wenger told the club website, before adding
that defender Bacary Sagna is also fit after a shoulder problem.
"We have Samir Nasri and Nicklas Bendtner back in full
training, so that is quite good news for us," the Frenchman said
ahead of Wednesday's league trip to Aston Villa.
Striker Robin van Persie, midfielder Fran Merida and
defenders Kieran Gibbs and Johan Djourou all remain out.
Wenger also confirmed that the north London club are to let
England under-21 midfielder Jack Wilshere go out on a short-term
loan within the next 48 hours.
"We have interest from Premier League teams," Wenger said.
"It will be decided today or tomorrow. Burnley is an
opportunity.
"At the end of the day, Wilshere will have his word to say,
because he needs to decide where he likes to go."
