Alexis Sanchez will likely return to the starting line-up when Arsenal host Leicester at the Emirates tonight.

The Chilean star, Arsenal's top goal scorer, has not played since the FA Cup win against Brighton on 25 January.

Arsene Wenger confirmed that no further injuries took place during the north London derby defeat at White Hart Lane on Saturday.

Jack Wilshere and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain could return before the end of the month, but Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Debuchy and Abou Diaby remain long-term concerns.

Serge Gnabry returned for the Arsenal Under-21s on Monday night, returning from a knee injury that had kept him out for the last 11 months. The winger, 19, played 65 minutes at St James' Park, captaining the team.

Leicester boss Nigel Pearson is still without Kasper Schmeichel and Chris Wood.
