Potential Starters for Arsenal Europa League Clash With Cologne

Injury-linked midfielder Jack Wilshere is one of several major changes made by boss Arsene Wenger for the Europa League clash.

Jack Wilshere could make an appearance for the Arsenal first-team for the first time in 13 months against Cologne

Wilshere, 25, has not played since breaking his leg while on loan at Bournemouth last April.

Incredibly, his previous match for Arsenal was against Watford 13 months ago.

Wenger is ready to give Wilshere his Gunners lifeline after he opted to stay at the Emirates in the summer, while Sanchez will also start after going on as a substitute against the Cherries on Saturday.

Alexis Sanchez is another player set to bolster his match fitness in the Europa League clash.

Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Mathieu Debuchy could also play against Cologne, who are bottom of the Bundesliga.
