Welbeck Suffers Knock Ahead of Manchester United Clash

Danny Welbeck was a confirmed doubt for Arsenal's crucial Premier League tie with Manchester United on Saturday.

Arsene Wenger provided an update on the Englishman's fitness after he suffered an injury on international duty with the Three Lions, per the club's Twitter account:

Welbeck has scored two Premier League goals in eight starts since moving from Old Trafford in the summer, per WhoScored.com.

The hard-working forward—born and bred in Manchester—may now miss the opportunity to compound misery on his childhood club for the first time since his departure.

Olivier Giroud is set to return after breaking his leg in August, as reported by Sky Sports, and he may now be a prime candidate to lead the north London side's forward line during the Emirates clash.
