Fabregas will be a game-time decision vs. ManU but it seems unlikely he will play. If he doesn't, I hope Wenger doesn't clear him to play with Spain.
Cesc Fabregas and Thomas Rosicky both competed internationally this week and are expected to return to action with Arsenal this weekend.
vs. Standard Liege Injured Manuel Almunia won't be traveling to Belguim for the Champions League game against Standard Liege due to a chest infection. He will be out for a couple of days. This will open the door for a Mannone debut in the Champions League (dear god). Robin van Persie is also ruled out for the game. He suffered a knock to the knee against City last Saturday. He will only be out for a couple of days. Finally, Denilson picked up a small back injury against City. He will only be out for the Standard Liege game. Arsenal are still without Samir Nasri (leg), Andrey Arshavin (groin), Lukasz Fabianski, Johan Djourou (both knee) and Carlos Vela (ankle). Questionable Theo Walcott has successfully recovered from a back injury while on international duty. He still needs to pass a fitness test to determine if he will play against Standard Liege. Update: Theo Walcott has not been placed in the squad for the Standard Liege fixture. Youngster, Sanchez Watt has filled Theo's position marking a possible Champions League debut. Recovered Cesc Fabregas has passed a fitness test and will be in the squad for the Standard Liege match. Tomas Rosicky was a successful sub against City and will be in the squad this week. Finally, Eduardo is no longer banned and will be in the squad.
Probably is. I think we've been cursed for something. Any ideas? Haha. Maybe it is because we won the title with no defeats...
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes sides are getting away with cynical fouls against his side and has urged the FA to investigate the matter. (Daily Star)
Arsenal winger Theo Walcott, who has been out of action since June because of a lower back injury, has told boss Arsene Wenger he is fit to start Tuesday's Champions League match against Olympiakos.
Walcott's return was delayed until this weekend's fixture vs. Blackburn. Bendtner is also fit to play despite getting in a minor car crash earlier this week.
