Arsenel Wenger Deliver Injury Updates on Lacazette and Petr Cech and Welbeck Ahead of Arsenal vs CSKA Moscow.

Arsene Wenger says he is yet to decide whether Alexandre Lacazette will lead the Arsenal line in their Europa League quarter-final first leg against CSKA Moscow.

Lacazette made a goalscoring return to the Arsenal side in a 3-0 win over Stoke, winning and converting a penalty in injury time as he completed 30 minutes as a second -half substitute.

 Fellow striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is ineligible for the Europa League and Danny Welbeck was withdrawn vs Stoke with a back problem.

"Lacazette’s still lacking a bit of competitive edge," Wenger said. "He
’s been out for two months, he worked hard but he still lacks a fraction maybe.

"In training he looks sharp. How long can he last in the game? I don’t know. He certainly needs one or two more games.
"Will he start on Thursday? I don’t know, I will have to wait a little bit."

Petr Cech is also a doubt for the visit of CSKA to the Emirates Stadium after missing Sunday’s game with a groin injury.

"Cech is better today, he will go out for a little session maybe now,” Wenger added. "I still think he will be short for Thursday."

Whether Cech would have played on Thursday is doubtful, with Wenger having committed to using David Ospina in cup competitions.
