Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that his veteran goalkeeper Petr Cech will return to first-team action against Watford, after his side regroup following the international break.





Cech sustained a hamstring injury during his side's gruelling 2-1 defeat against Swansea at the Emirates on 2nd March. He has since missed defeats to Watford and Barcelona, as well as a win over Hull City and and enthralling North-London derby with Tottenham.

The 33-year old has endued a fine debut season at Arsenal, following his surprise switch from Chelsea last summer for £10m. Cech has managed 12 clean sheets in the Premier League this season which is more than any other goalkeeper.





Speaking to ​Arsenal.com about the status of his side's injuries , Wenger said:





“The players who will definitely be back from injury [following the international break] will be Aaron Ramsey, Cech and maybe Mathieu Flamini.”





Welsh international Aaron Ramsey picked up a knock after scoring the opening goal in the North London derby at White Hart Lane while Flamini pulled his hamstring at the Camp Nou on Wednesday night.





Arsenal will have to be without their towering figure between the sticks against Everton on Saturday lunchtime, who will be on a high after securing their spot in the FA Cup semi-final. However despite the Toffees' good form, Arsenal need a win if they are to reduce the 11 point gap to league leaders Leicester City.
