Arsenal take on BATE in the Europa League Round of 32 clash on Thursday and right now the Gunners find themselves in a bit of a hole.

The London outfit shockingly lost the first leg 1-0 away from home and despite fielding a pretty strong team, Emery men were unable to break down BATE.

Things took an even more bad turn for Arsenal when Alexandre Lacazette was sent off late in the second half ruling him out of the second leg.

One good news for the manager though is the fact that almost all of his first-team players have returned back from injuries – barring the long term absentees.




The likes of Danny Welbeck, Hector Bellerin and Rob Holding are all sidelined with long-term injuries and are not likely to play any further part this season.

But the fans should be delighted with the news that Aaron Ramsey has returned back to full training and is available for selection on Thursday.

Aaron Ramsey has been one of the best players for Arsenal this season but the midfielder had been sidelined with a knee injury.




While there were several doubts with his fitness but the club have officially confirmed that Aaron Ramsey is fit.




Now the only thing that remains to be seen is whether Unai Emery decides to play in the first XI or not.

Denis Saurez was expected to be given his first full debut for Arsenal vs BATE but if the manager does decide to include Aaron Ramsey in the first XI then the Barcelona loanee could once again start on the bench.

But given the fact that Lacazette is suspended for the game, Emery will be needing that creative spark in the final third of the pitch and more often than not, Aaron Ramsey has been the one to provide it.
