And now Wenger has revealed Welbeck is still struggling to train regularly which is why he hasn't been given a run in the side.
“Recently he has not practised a lot because he had a pain in his toe and needed to be stopped from training,” he said.
“I don't play him at the moment regularly because he's not fully consistently present in training.
"Yes, certainly (it is frustrating).”
Welbeck has had a number of serious injures over his career.
The England international suffered a major injury to his right knee in his first season with Arsenal, causing him to miss much of the 2015/2016 season.
