Arsenal assistant manager Steve Bould says Gunners duo Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could be in line to play against QPR on Saturday, while Theo Walcott remains an injury doubt.

England midfielder WIlshere was an unused substitute in Arsenal’s 1-0 defeat at Norwich last weekend but could make his comeback from over a year out injured when the R’s visit the Emirates.

Oxlade-Chamberlain suffered a knock against the Canaries but is expected to return, while Walcott is still recovering from the injury he suffered on England duty against San Marino.

After Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat to Schalke last night, Bould said: I’m not sure about Walcott, the other two might be considered [on Saturday].”

He added: “It’s not set in stone yet. We might [need that], one or two need freshening up I think”
