From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Francis Coquelin returned to Arsenal first-team training and could make a return against Olympiacos, Arsene Wenger confirmed.
The French midfielder has been a breakout star for the Gunners since returning to the club from a loan spell at Charlton Athletic last season.
He picked up a minor knee injury in the defeat at Chelsea, being withdrawn at half-time, and was forced to miss the Capital One Cup victory over Tottenham and the 5-2 Premier League win at Leicester City on Saturday.
But speaking at his press conference ahead of the match, Wenger said that Coquelin has returned to training and is available for selection.
"Coquelin is back in training since yesterday. He looks alright," said the Frenchman.
However, he is still missing both Mathieu Flamini and Mikel Arteta who both have "slight muscular problems."
Olivier Giroud will miss the game because of the red card he picked up against Dinamo Zagrev, while Jack Wilshere, Danny Welbeck and Tomas Rosicky remain long-term injury concerns.
Gabriel Paulista is also available again after serving his one-match ban.
