London, Nov 30 (IANS) Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger on Thursday confirmed striker Alexandre Lacazette will miss the English Premier League (EPL) tie against Manchester United on Saturday while star forward Alexis Sanchez is likely to be available.
Lacazette suffered a groin injury during Wednesday's 5-0 win over Huddersfield while Sanchez had a minor hamstring problem in the same match.
"Lacazette has a groin problem and will be out certainly for Saturday's game," the Frenchman was quoted as saying by ESPNFC.
"Sanchez had a little hamstring problem -- that's why I took him off but I think he will be alright.
"Look, we have offensive weapons, you know. We have Danny Welbeck, we have Giroud, and we have Jack Wilshere who all came on. They are all offensive players.
"I will see what I do for Saturday but ideally you wanted him (Lacazette) there," Wenger was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.
