Olivier Giroud will miss Arsenal’s clash with Swansea but Mesut Ozil is fit, Arsene Wenger confirms

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.
