Mesut Ozil, Aaron Ramsey fit for Community Shield

Ozil, Ramsey fit for Community Shield

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he has an almost fully-fit squad available for the Community Shield on Sunday.

The Frenchman told reporters that he has "basically everyone available to choose from" when his FA Cup winners take on Premier League champions Chelsea at the traditional season curtain-raiser at Wembley.

"Today in training we didn't have [Mesut] Ozil, but he should be alright, and [Aaron] Ramsey, who should be alright as well," he said. "Ramsey had a little muscular problem, and Ozil a a little ankle problem. They will train on Saturday."

Wenger went on to confirm that Francis Coquelin faces a further two weeks on the sidelines after being injured in the Emirates Cup earlier this week, while Gabriel Paulista has 'started to run' again following his knee injury at the end of last season.

Contract rebel Alexis Sanchez, meanwhile, has returned to training following a bout of flu but Wenger admitted that he has not yet decided whether he will feature.
