The FA Cup’s Arsenal vs Leeds match will be marked with Aaron Ramsey’s return to action. The midfielder is back for Arsenal after almost 1 year since awfully breaking his leg in a physical game against Stoke.
Following his sort loan spell with Championship club Nottingham Forest, Aaron Ramsey is believed to have gained some valuable match fitness. Last Monday, the Welsh played a full game and this has apparently encouraged Arsene Wenger to include him in the roster for the Arsenal vs Leeds FA Cup match which is set to come up on Saturday.
“Ramsey is in the squad and so is Carlos Vela,” the Gunners’ manager told reporters as he confirmed the broken-leg victim’s return to football at Arsenal for the first time since February 2010.
Meanwhile, Leeds United will be boosted by the record which they were able to clinch last season as they stunned giants Manchester United at the same stage. Ahead of this weekend’s clash against Arsenal, Captain Jonny Howson has warned the Gunners that his squad don’t playing at the Emirates Stadium.
“We’ve got some top players who, arguably, could be playing in the Premier League. So, I don’t think that we’ll be going there scared of fearing the worst.
“We are looking forward to it, and we’ll give our best shot.”
Arsenal will be without a number of injured players whereas some will be rested following the busy winter period. Robin Van Persie and Samir Nasri won’t feature against Leeds United for example due to fitness worries.
Besides, Koscielny and Jack Wilshere have been granted a day off. Will all this damage Arsenal’s chances of going past Leeds in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup?
