Fully-fit Arsenal creates selection headaches for Wenger

Arsene Wenger admits he has some tough decisions to make in the final month of the season.

Wenger has almost a full roster of Arsenal players fit and available for the remaining five Premier League fixtures which precedes the FA Cup final at Wembley on May 30.

With a top-two finish and victory in the FA Cup now the main goals for the Gunners this term, Wenger has his work cut out for him in selecting the right line-ups now that he has a full quota of players apart from French full-back Mathieu Debuchy who has had another injury setback.

"Everybody is in good shape, apart from Mathieu Debuchy, who has a little hamstring problem. We don't know how bad it is," Wenger told the club's official website ahead of Monday night's clash with Hull City.

"Apart from that everybody should be available. Monday could be too early for him. He got the injury in training.

"We are at a period of the season where it is going to be important to have everybody on board and to see everyone fit makes us stronger.

"We are on a good run, we want to keep it going and the fact that we have plenty of selection opportunities is very interesting for me."
