Long-term injury absentees Jack Wilshere and Tomas Rosicky are back in full training with the Gunners as the title race reaches homestretch. The same can also be said about goalkeeper Petr Cech, who has been instrumental for Arsene Wenger’s side between the posts this season.
Jack Wilshere (below) is expected to announce his return to competitive football with a bang, after breaking his leg during the pre-season. The England international has not kicked a ball for the Gunners in any competition this season and his return could give Arsene Wenger a wide range of attacking options alongside Rosicky.

After being bundled out of the FA Cup by Watford and the Champions League by Barcelona, the Gunners now have their eyes set on the Premier League title. Although they are 11 points behind league leaders Leicester City, the North Londoners need to win all their remaining matches and hope that Claudio Ranieri’s men will bow to pressure along the way and surrender the number one position.
Regarding the latest fitness update from the Emirates Stadium, Arsene Wenger told the club’s website:
“Wilshere and Rosicky are back in full training,
“Basically they are all progressing well.’’
About Cech’s fitness, he added:
“Cech is going back to normal training. It’s too early to say if he will be available for the weekend. He might be a bit short to be competitive.”
Wenger's men host Watford, the same team that bundled them out of the FA Cup, in their next Premier League fixture at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday April 2, 2016.
