I think its a better bet than having to see the likes of Valbuena play on that right hand side. In all cases, when Ribery is back, he'll probably occupy the right, with Florent on the left, Nasri and Gourcuff will be back to fighting for one position.
With Gourcuff being so average for Lyon this season, while Nasri has been one of Arsenal's top peformers, Yoan's place in the NT is no longer guaranteed.
