Danny Welbeck: Still struggling with knee injury
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed striker Danny Welbeck is still not ready to return to training.
The England forward, 24, missed Monday's 3-1 victory over Hull because of a knee injury and is not training ahead of Monday's clash with Swansea at Emirates Stadium.
Wenger said: "Welbeck is doing better, but he is still not in training, he has missed now more than a week.
"There is no major damage, but we have to see how it progresses over the next two or three days."
Better news for the Frenchman comes in the form of midfielder Aaron Ramsey, who is expected to face Garry Monk's side despite sustaining a knock at the KC Stadium.
Wenger told the club's official website: "From the Hull match we had Ramsey who took a big kick, he is getting slowly better. He could be back in training soon."
One player who has endured an injury nightmare in his first season as a Gunner is right-back Mathieu Debuchy - but the former Newcastle star is optimistic over the club's prospects in the 2015/2016 campaign.
Debuchy told Arsenal Player: "I am convinced that we will challenge for the title [next season]. Every big club wants to win it, Arsenal is a big club and it is definitely a target for us all.
"Of course it is not finished yet but so far, it is a good season. We have picked up a lot of wins, a lot of good results. I really hope we can carry on playing well until the end, and if we do we will say it was a good season."
