But after shaking off the knock to face United, Wenger has revealed Xhaka could miss the trip to Southampton with a recurrence of the same injury.
When asked about Xhaka's availability at St Mary's, Wenger said: "He got injured last time and he got a recurrence of that. We'll see. I don't know."

Xhaka arrived at Arsenal in the summer from Borussia Monchengladbach and has so far struggled to live up to his £35million price tag.
But the 24-year-old's goal against United could play a huge part in the Gunners' top-four bid as they sit sixth in the Premier League table.
