Arsenal's Cazorla available ahead of Norwich City encounter

Santi Cazorla's time on the sidelines is almost over after manager Arsene Wenger confirmed the Spanish midfielder will be available for selection Saturday ahead of Arsenal's match against Norwich City.

Arsenal has been without Cazorla since November when he sustained a knee injury against Norwich City. His recovery was delayed further when he injured his Achilles.

Despite the positive news, Wenger is unsure whether the 31-year-old will be included in the starting team when Arsenal hosts Norwich.

"Santi might be in the squad this weekend, I don't know yet," Wenger told reporters Thursday. "He is available."

It's a rare moment for Arsenal as the team is relatively healthy heading into Saturday's match - with the exception of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who returned to full training this week after battling a knee ligament injury.

"Everyone is training, so that's new for us," Wenger added. "That's the first time this season.

Jack Wilshere also made his long-awaited return to action when he appeared in his first match of the season during Arsenal's goalless draw with Sunderland on Sunday.

Before the injury occurred, Cazorla scored one goal and provided four assists during 21 appearances for Arsenal in all competitions.
