“It’s the first time that we can play one against one as I haven’t met him in an worldwide game or Champions League game so far”, Puel said. Perhaps he can come back between six months and nine months.
Sofiane Boufal may have to wait up to a month to make his Southampton debut, but Fraser Forster should return to face Arsenal on Saturday, says manager Claude Puel.
“Apart from Sanchez and someone else who I haven’t seen yet, everyone returned okay (from global break)”, Wenger said during a pre-match press conference ahead of Arsenal’s second home game of the season, according to The Mirror.
Forster pulled out of the England squad with an arm injury but has made good progress.
The 27-year-old did not, as expected, find himself sent out on loan to gain match fitness.
“I am happy that all the worldwide players of Southampton came back with a good health and a good possibility for this game against Arsenal”, said Puel.
“I saw Jay progress, improve [throughout] all the training [sessions], take confidence [and] come back, step by step, with a good physical level”.
“For the future when he comes back with the squad all the people can see Boufal in another way”.
Ramsey missed Arsenal’s games against Leicester City and Watford as well as Wales’ World Cup qualifier against Moldova and it seems like he won’t take part in the Gunners’ home game against Southampton on Saturday.
“Many things are positive when I see him on the pitch”. It’s important to keep him.
“It’s important to beat him, but also a pleasure to meet Arsene again – it’s a game between us, we both want to beat each other”.
