Arsenal manager provides injury update ahead of CSKA Moscow clash

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has provided injury updates ahead of Europa League clash against CSKA Moscow. According to the manager, David Ospina could continue to deputise between the sticks for Thursday's crunch clash. Petr Cech missed Sunday's win against Swansea with a minor groin problem, and Arsene Wenger admits his first-choice keeper may not be ready in time for the Europa League quarter-final first leg. "He’s better today," said Wenger when speaking to the press. "He will go out for a little session maybe now. "I still think he will be a little short for Thursday." "He’s still lacking a competitive edge a bit," said the manager. "He has been out for two months, he worked hard. "He still lacks a fraction maybe. In training he looks sharp. How long can he last in a game? I don’t know. "He needs one or two more games,” Wenger added. When asked about Alexandre Lacazette the manager said: “I don’t know. We’ll have to wait a bit to make that decision.”
