Alexis Snchez faces a fitness test on his injured thigh before Arsenal face Sunderland on Tuesday night in a match the London club must win to take their pursuit of Champions League qualification to the final day of the season.

Snchez limped out of the 4-1 win against Stoke City on Saturday after sustaining what Arsne Wenger described as a kick to the thigh, with the Chile international joining the defender Laurent Koscielny as a doubt for the game on Tuesday.

Alexis will have a test today. Yesterday, it didnt look too good, but with him you never know, Wenger said. He is so keen that maybe It was just a kick so it could be possible that he recovers in time.

Koscielny, who played 90 minutes against Stoke, has suffered a recurrence of the calf problem that forced him to sit out the win against Southampton last week but Wenger is confident the Frenchman should be fit to face Sunderland.

Liverpools victory against West Ham United on Sunday means Arsenals fate remains out of their hands. Jrgen Klopps team play Middlesbrough at home on the final day, with Everton due at the Emirates Stadium but Wenger insisted he is focused only on preparing his side for the meeting with Sunderland.

We have 69 points and can get to 75, which would be four points more than last year. We are mathematically outsiders but you never know, he said.

All we can do is win our own games. We have created the momentum again by winning six of the last seven games after having a period away from home where we were not stable. Thats positive.

Wenger also confirmed that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will not feature against Sunderland or Everton but revealed that the England midfielder has an 80% of recovering from his hamstring injury in time for the FACup final against Chelsea on 27May.
