[Photos] Key quartet all smiles in training ahead of Arsenal return

Several of Arsenal’s key first team regulars have been snapped in training today as they prepare to make their return to the starting eleven for our clash with Watford on Tuesday night.

Arsene Wenger made wholesale changes to the squad for our FA Cup clash with Southampton on Saturday night but despite winning 5-0 at St Mary’s, the boss is expected to recall his big guns tomorrow.

Mesut Ozil, Laurent Koscienly, Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey were all left out of the squad for Saturday’s trip to the south coast after being rested so they should all come back in to the side against Watford.

Francis Coquelin and Petr Cech are two others who’re expected to get recalls while Alexis Sanchez and Nacho Monreal are also vying for starts after being named on the bench against Southampton.

All the players were out on the training pitches today along with the likes of Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott – who are hoping to keep their places after superb performances at the weekend.

The only absentee is Santi Cazorla as he continues to recover from a long-term Achilles injury that’s kept him out since October.
