Gunners lost their first game since the opening day defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. The group of death is now wide open.
Arsene Wenger will be hoping that the recent blip versus Dortmund does not influence their fantastic premier league form adversely.
One of the major injury concerns in the mid-week champions league fixture was that of England international Jack Wilshere.
The gunner midfielder had pain in his right ankle but still continued to play against Dortmund before Wenger substituted him.
Previously, it was feared that the tireless youngster will be out for the clash against Crystal Palace at the weekend.
However the good news for Arsenal and the supporters is that Wilshere feels that he is fit enough to play on Saturday. He claimed:
“For five or ten minutes it was painful, then I ran it off, but it made sense to put ice on it. I’ve done that before, even before I had surgery. It is just one of those things.”
“Obviously I will have treatment because it is still a bit swollen, but I should be all right for the weekend.”
Arsenal already have more than a few stars out with injuries and the fans will be glad that the influential midfielder is fit for the next game.

Oooh that’s soooo original.
Why are you spending time posting things like this on blogs whenyou could be making fortunes writing for the stars?
To be honest I’m not sure who’s the more sad person, you for making this comment or me for responding to it!
Twat!
Which one is better to lose to a good side like Dortmand or to lose to your fellow crap side like westbrom? Wasnt it obvious that one day Arsenal would have to lose a match and if it happens t come from a good side, why would that be a surprise? Its fans of crap sides that are finding relief in an Arsenal loss, I trust that makes you feel better.
thank God he will be fit to play
Yeah we lost d game. But tactically we were better dan dortmund. Don’t be suprised dat we gonna deal wit dem in our second leg tie. And I’m better sure dat our midfielders and striker would add much more energy wen taking their shots. Better still ramsey is very good bt I think dribbling in the front of our box is nt right. Rambo do learn from dat mistake pls
Thank God he is fit to face Crystal palace and i prayed quick recovery for the remaining injured players.
thank God he will be fit to play the match on weekend 26 of Oct. please if you know is not going to be possible on that day let your coach know before the final list those that will be short listed for the match. Gunner any where you go am there waiting to watch your performances, am always grade you guys higher then any other club in England good luck up gunners continue fire..
i am worrying about jack he is holding onto the ball too much without releasing it in time. he always applied to be kicked and also delay the supply of ball to free players when space is open .he cant play one touch football without inviting kicks
Wish all of them quick recovery. Honest we are good now bt we still need more strikers. If we can have some of the strikers who are injured i kw we wl ve a beta chance. Love u arsnl.
Wenger should’nt rush jack, to me l will prefare him to be rested for dis wkendnd game let cazola take charge of his position,jack is a fragile player dat he should be use per 3games one rest
up gunners! I think jack should be rested for the weekend tie vs palace, we shouldn’t rush him back 2 action.
