Wenger given boost as Arsenal star makes squad ahead of West Brom clash

Arsenal take on West Brom on in their Monday night Premier League clash at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger has given a major boost as star man Mesut Ozil has recovered from a knee injury.

The playmaker of Turkish origin has been included in the provisional squad.

Ozil missed the goalless draw against Chelsea last week and the mid-week League Cup game against Doncaster.

Danny Welbeck (groin), Francis Coquelin (hamstring) and Santi Cazorla (ankle) and Calum Chambers (hip problem) are all missing.

Theo Walcott should be a fit for the clash after being forced off against Doncaster mid-week and has been included in the squad.

Summer signing Alexandre Lacazette, star man Alexis Sanchez have also made the squad.

West Brom meanwhile are sweating over the fitness of Chris Brunt (calf), Nacer Chadli (thigh) and Oliver Burke (hamstring).
