Francis Coquelin has become a key figure for Arsene
Wenger's side
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has underlined the importance of
Francis Coquelin for Arsenal as the Frenchman returns from
injury ahead of Tuesday's Champions League encounter with
Olympiacos.
Coquelin developed into an undisputed starter at Arsenal in the
second half of last season, but missed the last two games due
to injury.
The 24-year-old has now resumed regular training again and
Oxlade-Chamberlain is delighted to see his team-mate back on
the pitch.
"Francis has always been an amazing player," the England
midfielder said at a press conference. "When you're at a club
like Arsenal, sometimes it can be hard to find opportunities, but
he's someone who has a great attitude.
"Sometimes going out on loan can be hard for players to do but
he's gone out on loan, proved himself by playing well then came
back and took his opportunity. He's someone that I love having
in the team.
"When I think about Arsenal I think he’s a massive vocal part of
our team, and he proves that week after week and in training as
well. Everything that he does is different to what a lot of the
other boys in our team can do.
"I think that's crucial to the team because he brings something
different. As long as he keeps doing that I'm sure he's going to
keep progressing as a player and helping this team."
