Arsenal's Podolski, Monreal, Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ramsey doubtful for FA Cup final

Arsene Wenger reacts after winning the penalty shoot-out against Wigan Athletic

Arsenal’s growing list of injured players have worked against their title hopes and it doesn’t seem to end sooner as Lukas Podolski, Aaron Ramsey, Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Nacho Monreal have been labeled as doubtful for their West Ham United clash.

The Hammers will visit the Emirates this Wednesday and Arsene Wenger has suggested that his four key players from the FA cup’s tiring clash may miss their Premier League encounter.

Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Mesut Ozil, and Serge Gnabry have already been ruled out as long absentees and the list now may increase adding to the existing woes of the Gunner’s boss.

However, there maybe some positive news for the Frenchman as Laurent Koscielny may return to the squad in place of Thomas Vermaelen. The Belgian looked nervy against Wigan in the semi final and his return would certainly boost the confidence of his side.

Jack Wilshere who has been out for a long time with a broken foot has been making good progress and Wenger feels he can feature again probably at the end of this season. Czech Republic international Tomas Rosicky could also make his return to the first team.
