Ramsey to start, others face late fitness test for Wigan in FA Cup clash

Aaron Ramsey is set to start against Wigan in the FA Cup date on Saturday, Arsenal Wenger has hinted.

The midfielder who has been out for months made his return last weekend in the disastrous loss against Everton as he was introduced in the second half.

Speaking generally on other members of the squad, Wenger said "I. cannot give you concrete team news because we have so many uncertainties about Chamberlain (groin), Gibbs (ankle), Rosicky (thigh). There will be last-minute decisions on those three players. They are all 50:50.

On Ozil and Koscielny he said "Ozil and Koscielny are still out. I think the earliest to come back for Koscielny could be Tuesday and for Ozil it could be next Saturday. That would be a boost because at the moment we have too many players out and it's important we get them back. We know that at this period of the season, the number of players we had out is too many.

"Meanwhile Diaby is back to full training next week. He could be available soon, maybe in a couple of weeks."
