London - Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy will make his return from a long-term ankle injury in the Gunners' Champions League game against Galatasaray, manager Arsene Wenger told a news conference.
The Frenchman has not played since suffering the injury after falling awkwardly in the 2-2 draw against Premier League champions Manchester City on September 13.
The 29-year-old full-back joined Arsenal from Newcastle United for 12 million pounds ($19.6 million) in July but played only seven times for his new club before getting injured.
Arsenal have 10 points after five Group D games, two points behind leaders Borussia Dortmund, and have already guaranteed their qualification to the knockout stages.
Arsenal team to face Galatasaray:
Wojciech Szczesny, Mathieu Debuchy, Per Mertesacker, Calum Chambers, Hector Bellerin, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Mathieu Flamini, Aaron Ramsey, Joel Campbell, Yaya Sanogo, Lukas Podolski. – Reuters
