Arsenal will have goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny available again following a rib injury for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League clash against Southampton.

Winger Theo Walcott will be assessed after missing England’s draw with Ukraine because of a virus, while midfielder Abou Diaby is 50/50 after picking up a minor knee problem when playing for France.

Midfielders Tomas Rosicky (hamstring), Jack Wilshere (ankle) and Emmanuel Frimpong (knee) all continue their rehabilitation along with defender Bacary Sagna (broken leg).

On midfielder Wilsher, Wenger said: “Jack is making quick progress now, he will join in with full training soon.”

Provisional squad: Szczesny, Jenkinson, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Cazorla, Diaby, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Arteta, Podolski, Giroud, Mannone, Koscielny, Ramsey, Santos, Coquelin, Walcott, Gervinho, Djourou.
