London (B2B) - Arsene Wenger dikabarkan siap menurunkan penyerang Arsenal Alexis Sanchez jelang laga lawan Leicester pada Selasa malam setelah dikalahkan Tottenham.
The Gunner dikalahkan tim sekota Tottenham 1-2 di White Hart Lane pada Sabtu dengan Harry Kane memborong dua gol untuk Spurs, setelah Mesut Ozil mencetak gol pembuka pada menit 11.
Arsenal kini berada di posisi enam klasemen dan meski tidak ingin mengambil resiko menurunkan Sanchez melawan Tottenham karena cedera hamstring, Wenger dikabarkan akan kembali memanggilnya. Sementara Alex Oxlade Chamberlain tak bisa berlaga karena mengalami cedera pangkal paha.
"Chamberlain absen, satu-satunya yang memiliki kesempatan dibangkucadangan," kata Wenger.
Arsenal kini berada diperingkat enam dengan 42 poin, selisih 14 poin dengan pemuncak klasemen Chelsea, demikian seperti dikutip di skysports.com.
London - Arsene Wenger is ready to throw Arsenal forward Alexis Sanchez straight back into the side as they look to bounce back from a derby day defeat at Tottenham with victory over Leicester on Tuesday night.
The Gunners were beaten 2-1 at White Hart Lane on Saturday, with Harry Kane scoring both of Spurs’ goal after Mesut Ozil had scored the opening goal after 11 minutes.
Arsenal are now in sixth place and despite not risking Sanchez against Tottenham because of a hamstring strain, Wenger is set to recall him in midweek, although midfielder Alex Oxlade Chamberlain will not feature due to a groin problem.
"Chamberlain is out, the only one who has a chance to be on the bench or to start maybe is Sanchez," said Wenger.
Wenger has demanded a much improved display after his side slipped to defeat after recording five straight wins in all competitions.
