The England forward has suffered his fair share of injuries over the years but regularly proves his worth as the perfect utility player
Arsene Wenger is unlikely to admit it but with six games remaining his Arsenal side are only playing for pride in the Premier League. A place in the coveted top four is almost certainly out of the question and that was confirmed by Wenger’s decision to rest the likes of Mesut Ozil and hand a first Premier League start to 18-year-old Reiss Nelson.
Arsenal look likely to reach the Europa League semi-final following their first leg 4-1 quarter-final win over CSKA Moscow at Emirates Stadium, but Wenger is likely to bring a strong squad with him for the return game in Moscow on Thursday.
One player who maintains a consistent presecnce in the first team squad is England forward Danny Welbeck, who has mostly been used in the Europa League this season alongside domestic cameo appearances.
The former Manchester United striker is regularly the butt of jokes for his somewhat clumsiness in front of goal, but against Southampton he once again emphasised his usefulness to the Arsenal team with two goals and an impressive deft flick assist for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
