Bafetimbi Gomis could come back to haunt Arsenal on Monday, with Swansea City manager Garry Monk describing the French striker as fit and sharp after injury.
The 29-year-old scored the winner as Swansea came from behind to triumph 2-1 over Arsene Wenger s men at the Liberty Stadium in November, but has not featured since limping out of the 1-1 draw against Everton a month ago.
However, Gomis has shaken off his hamstring problem and is set for a return when Swansea head to the Emirates Stadium next week, with stand-in Nelson Oliveira likely to miss the rest of the season due an ankle injury.
Nelson is unlikely to be fit for any of the remaining games, said Monk. It s disappointing for us and for him because he s done well in recent weeks.
Bafe returns, which is a big boost for everyone.
He was in fanatastic form in the lead up to that injury. He looks fit and sharp and his return will give us a boost.
Swansea have not lost a Premier League fixture at Arsenal since September 2011, picking up a 2-2 draw in London last season.
