LONDON (Reuters) - By Arsene Wenger's own admission, last week's international break could hardly have come at a worse time for Arsenal.
After a torrid start to the season featuring a 1-0 defeat at Stoke City and 4-0 humiliation away to Liverpool, Wenger's side rallied by taking 10 points from their next four Premier League matches and winning both of their Europa League group games.
