The duo picked up injuries on international duty but initial assessments by club staff were positive and a final decision will be made on Thursday

Arsenal are increasingly hopeful that Mesut Ozil and Aaron Ramsey will overcome injury scares to face Norwich City this weekend, Goal understands.
Ozil and Ramsey both picked up injuries on international duty on Tuesday but initial assessments by the club's medical staff on Wednesday showed there was no long-term damage.
The key duo will undergo further scrutiny on Thursday at Arsenal's London Colney headquarters, when a decision will be made on their availability for Saturday's home match against Norwich City.
Goal has learned that Ozil returned to London with a bruised knee and a minor hamstring injury after hobbling off with eight minutes remaining of Germany's 5-3 win over Sweden on Tuesday.
Ramsey also reported back from Wales' 1-1 draw at Belgium with the same thigh injury that affected him at the end of September
