Wenger has faith in Lacazette

Arsene Wenger is expecting to see the best of Alexandre Lacazette as the striker returns from a knee injury in time to lead the line in Arsenal’s Europa League quarter-final clash with CSKA Moscow.

The 26-year-old France international did not hit the ground running at the Emirates Stadium, following his move from Lyon last summer for a then club-record fee.

Lacazette scored nine goals in 29 appearances before requiring surgery on a niggling knee problem following the 1-0 defeat to north London rivals Tottenham on February 10.
