Wenger assistant."Wilshere trained yesterday, so he’s OK. Everybody else has come back and we’ll find out a bit more this morning"

“Jack trained yesterday, so he’s OK. Everybody else has come back and we’ll find out a bit more this morning.” Bould was also asked about the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Wenger’s future at Arsenal. He said: “I admire him immensely. “He’s taken an unbelievable amount of stick off everyone. He is one of the great managers.”

How much of the focus is on Moscow?

At this present moment, not a great deal. We’re concentrating on Sunday, it’s big match for us.

Lacazette trained yesterday, whether he will be involved I’m not so sure.
