The French global was forced off at half-time during our 2-1 win over Leicester City on Sunday after suffering a dead leg while attempting to tackle N’Golo Kante just before the break.
“Nick will definitely play”, said Bruce.
“It is an attractive tie for Hull, but they are top of the Championship and promotion is their priority – they can see the pot of gold”.
“Elneny is fit”, Wenger said. He has a chance to start.
So Elneny does have a chance but I do not think he will. The Egypt global does need as much time on the pitch with his new team mates to help him settle into the Arsenal team. “The normal squad is involved on Saturday and we will play a usual strong team”, he concluded.

Laurent Koscielny has passed a fitness test ahead of Arsenal’s FA Cup clash against Hull on Saturday. Furthermore, Chuba Akpom and Isaac Hayden are unable to face their parent club. It might take away some attacking threat but it would certainly make us harder to beat and we will have to play on the counter against them anyway.
This is a tight market with both options likely to trade at around the [2.0] mark come kick-off, and I have to say that’s correct as I’d really struggle to make a confident selection for either or.
