Good news ahead of the Highbury clash with Birmingham comes in the form of Freddie Ljungberg's return from injury.
The Swede has been sidelined since the 4-2 victory over Liverpool with a broken hand which had to be operated on, but is set to return on Saturday.
Sylvain Wiltord is out with an ankle injury (again) as is Pascal Cygan.
Also out is Brazilian midfielder Edu, who was hit in the eye by the ball in the closing stages of his international debut against Hungary.
"The doctor confirmed it's nothing serious, but getting hit again could cause bigger problems," said the Brazilian.
"I won't be able to train with my team-mates (this week) because there's a risk of getting hit again or clashing heads, but I'll be allowed to take individual exercise. So I'm going to keep training in the gym."
Speaking about Wiltord, Arsene had this to say:
"He still has inflammation on his ankle. He got a knock in the last game, we are a little bit cautious with him because he could have the European Championships (coming up) and doesn't want to be exposed now. We will take the needed time with him."
"I don't think he will play next week but he could be back for the last game against Leicester."
We wish Sylvain, Pascal and Edu speedy recoveries.

大意是，Ljunberg本周可以复出。Edu在国家队友谊赛眼部受伤，虽然不严重，但怕再次受伤及影响头球，故只能单独训练。维尔托德跟西甘都是膝盖受伤，前者本周无法上场，不过在季末对莱切斯特城的比赛中会上场，AW不希望这会影响维尔托德入选国家队征战欧洲杯。
