Olivier Giroud will miss Arsenal’s clash with Swansea, Arsene Wenger has confirmed.
The Frenchman has been struggling with a toe injury in recent weeks and hasn’t featured for The Gunners since coming off the bench during Arsenal’s 3-0 win against Chelsea.
Giroud is yet to start a game for Wenger this season and the Arsenal boss confirmed that he will not be involved again this weekend.
‘Giroud will not be available,’ Wenger said at his pre-match press conference.
‘[Aaron] Ramsey will not be available.
‘[Francis] Coquelin is back. Apparently we have good news [from international players].’
Wenger also provided an upbeat bulletin on the fitness of Mesut Ozil. The Germany international had been substituted at half-time during the world champions’ fixture against Northern Ireland on Tuesday but the former Real Madrid superstar will be available to feature against the Swans.
