Arsene Wenger confirms Petr Cech return for Hull City match

By Daniel Lewis, Senior Reporter | 16 September 2016

Arsene Wenger confirms that Petr Cech will replace David Ospina in goal for Arsenal's trip to Hull City, while also revealing that Aaron Ramsey remains on the sidelines.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Petr Cech will come straight back into his first-team plans for the trip to take on Hull City this weekend.

The experienced stopper was surprisingly left out for the Gunners' 1-1 draw at Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League earlier this week, having previously started each game so far this season.

David Ospina was instead given the nod at the Parc des Princes, where he produced a string of impressive saves to help earn his side what could be a vital point in their attempt to top Group A.

There had been some talk that Ospina would retain his place in goal for the KCOM Stadium showdown, but Wenger will instead turn to his regular first-choice stopper on Humberside.

The Frenchman also revealed in his pre-match press conference that Aaron Ramsey is still absent from the squad due to an injury picked up on the opening weekend of the season, while Theo Walcott is a doubt.

Arsenal are currently seventh in the Premier League table after winning two, drawing one and losing one of their first four games this term.
