Arsene Wenger: 'Arsenal injury crisis easing'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is confident that the club's injury crisis is nearing an end.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has claimed that the injury crisis at the club is coming to an end.

The Gunners have been without a number of key personnel during the first few months of the season, including Olivier Giroud, Theo Walcott and Laurent Koscielny.

However, following Walcott's return during Saturday's 3-0 win over Burnley, Wenger is optimistic that he will have a full squad to choose from in the near future.

"Slowly all the long-term injuries are getting better and Theo Walcott is the first to come back. I believe there is light at the end of the tunnel," the Frenchman told reporters ahead of Tuesday's clash with Anderlecht in the Champions League.

Arsenal are in fourth place in the Premier League table after beating Burnley on the weekend.
