Sanchez's ankle in 'terrible state', says Wenger
Arsenal striker Alexis Sanchez and playmaker Mesut Ozil are fit for Sunday's Premier League clash with Chelsea, manager Arsene Wenger said. The league leaders have been without the influential Chilean, who has scored six league goals this season, since late November after he suffered a hamstring injury. Ozil missed Sunday's goalless draw away at Stoke City with a minor toe injury. "The good news is that Ozil certainly will be available, and Sanchez ... the next two days will be decisive ... but I think this time he will make it to be available for selection," Wenger told reporters on Thursday.
