Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Per Mertesacker will be fit for the Gunners' opening Champions League group stage encounter against Marseille at the Stade Velodrome.

  • Sir Jim Ratcliffe in crisis talks with Ruben Amorim
  • Cole Palmer doubtful to face Man Utd?

  • The German International defender who captained the North London outfit during the Champions League play-offs against Fenerbahce, was forced to miss Saturday's 3-1 win at Sunderland in the Premier League.



    Wenger told the club's official website :"There is good news.



    "Mertesacker will be available again after illness."



    However, striker Olivier Giroud remains a doubt to feature for the Gunners having incurred a knee injury on Saturday.
