Alexis Sanchez could return for Arsenal's clash with Man City
The Chilean is currently out with a hamstring injury he picked up in the 1-1 draw at Norwich two weeks ago.
Wenger was criticised for playing the 26-year-old after he revealed Sanchez's hamstring had been affecting him leading up to the game at Carrow Road.
It was initially feared Sanchez could be out until after Christmas but Wenger revealed he is now scheduled to return to training on Monday and he may be fit to face City on December 21.
