Arsene Wenger has revealed that star man Alexis Sanchez is willing to defy medical advice to line up for Arsenal in Saturday's game against Tottenham.
Ahead of the north London clash, the Gunners boss would love to have his top scorer available but knows he needs to be wary of rushing him back.
The Chilean international is currently out nursing a hamstring injury but Wenger has admitted there's still a chance he could feature.
Speaking at his press conference on Friday he said: 'He wants to play, of course, he's very keen, he feels he can defy the medical people because he is so keen to play that he thinks he can get over strains.
'I don't know yet, I need medical advice on that, and I need as well to see what he can do in training.'
Despite Sanchez's claims, Wenger knows he has enough options to replace him.
'We have enough offensive options, we are not short,' he added. 'I think we have enough offensive power, if all of us perform individually and collectively, we can get above that.'
