Arsenal injury news: Aaron Ramsey could miss Swansea game after suffering calf injury but Danny Welbeck will play again this season
Arsene Wenger has revealed the latest Arsenal injury news
Aaron Ramsey is a doubt for Monday’s Premier League fixture against Swansea having picked up a knock in the 3-1 victory over Hull earlier this week, Arsene Wenger has confirmed.
Ramsey starred in the win at the KC Stadium in which he scored the Gunners’ second, and despite not enjoying the best of season’s having seen his campaign hampered by injuries, he has shown signs in recent weeks of being back to his best.
However, Wenger has rated him as “50/50” to play against the Swans at the Emirates on Monday night.
Arsenal's injury list

Wenger also revealed that Danny Welbeck’s knee injury that kept him out of the Hull victory is not serious, and he will return to action before the end of the season.
Wenger will hope to have as many players fit and available for the run-in despite Chelsea already wrapping up the Premier League title, as the Gunners will defend their FA Cup crown against Aston Villa in the final later this month.
"Welbeck will play again this season. All the medical checks showed nothing major - just an inflammation – but he will be short for the weekend.”
Wenger also confirmed on Thursday that both Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Mikel Arteta remain sidelined despite returning to training, while Mathieu Debuchy is not fit enough to return.
“Chamberlain is not available, Arteta will be short so it will basically be a similar squad [to the one that faced Hull],” Wenger told Arsenal’s official website.
