Arsenal sweating on Wembley expert Aaron Ramsey’s fitness for Carabao Cup final against Manchester City

Aaron Ramsey is facing a desperate battle to be fit for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final.

The Wales international midfielder has missed Arsenal’s last two games with a groin problem, since scoring a hat-trick against Everton, and there are doubts he will make it back in time to take on Manchester City at Wembley.

Ramsey, 27, has a great track record at the national stadium – scoring the Gunners’ winners in the FA Cup finals of 2014 and 2017 – and is not giving up on being ready to take part.

He faces a race against time to be ready but will have intense treatment in the hope of making it.

Arsenal’s No.2 keeper David Ospina will again be in goal, not first-choice Petr Cech.

After winning the first leg 4-0, boss Arsene Wenger may be tempted to rest and rotate for Thursday’s Europa League last-32 near-dead rubber at home to Ostersund to make sure as many players as possible are fit for the cup final less than three days later.
