Arsene Wenger says that everybody who played against Aston Villa will be available for Monday night’s clash with Manchester City.

The boss stressed it is too early to make a firm decision on the inclusion of Alexis Sanchez, claiming there was a ‘slight chance’ the Chilean could feature after confirming he has started running again. He did also mention he’s not yet in full training.

Asked about the striker’s desire to feature, Wenger said: “I believe that it’s normal for a player to want to play. You want him to be keen but he respects the decisions I make.

“It’s not trust in a negative way,” he continued, when asked whether he can rely on his players to be honest with him about their physical state. Some of them are so keen to forget they have pain somewhere. They say they are alright and they are not.
