Giroud’s swift recovery adds options to Arsene’s armoury

Fit-again striker Olivier Giroud can help offer Arsenal "different options", according to manager Arsene Wenger.

The France international has recovered quicker than expected from a fractured leg suffered when challenging for the ball in the closing stages of the 2-2 draw against Everton on August 23.

Wenger revealed Giroud could even be involved in tomorrow’s Premier League game against Manchester United at the Emirates Stadium, although the trip to West Brom on November 29 looks a more realistic target.
