Henry and Arteta Expected Back For Villa Cup Tie


Thierry Henry and Mikel Arteta are both expected to be fit for Arsenal’s FA Cup tie against Aston Villa on Sunday. Henry failed a late fitness test on Sunday on his injured calf, which is why he missed Sunday’s loss to Manchester United. Arteta has missed the last two games due to a calf injury also, but has reportedly told Wenger to count him in for the fourth-round tie at the Emirates Stadium this weekend. Defenders Bacary Sagna and Kieran Gibbs, who have both been sidelined with injuries, are also set to return to training this week, but midfielder Jack Wilshere is not expected to be back for another month.
