Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez could return to the starting lineup against West Bromwich Albion this weekend.
The Chile international missed the Gunners' last Premier League outing, a goalless draw with Chelsea, but played the full 90 minutes of the 1-0 win over Doncaster Rovers in the EFL Cup.
Manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he is planning on handing a start to Sanchez when the Baggies visit the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.
"For me he needs competition, that's why I left him on the pitch," the Frenchman told reporters.
"He should be ready [for West Brom]."
Sanchez was the subject of a failed bid from Manchester City before the summer transfer window closed.
