Arsène Wenger confirms that four players from the Villareal match will be missing but Ashley Cole could make a return to first team action.

Cole completed 90 minutes against West Ham reserves, and is hoping to prove his fitness to England manager Sven Goran-Eriksson.

Wenger said: "We have a few injuries.

"Alexander Hleb is doubtful for Monday, he has a little knee problem. Gilberto will be out certainly with an ankle problem.

"We have Flamini (hamstring), Senderos (knee) and Reyes, with the extraction of his wisdom teeth. But they could be back on Thursday.

"Theo Walcott got injured in the reserves last night and came off after 10 minutes, but we think it will be a question of days rather than weeks.

"Ashley played last night and came through well.

"He had no problem today, and will be available for Monday.

"At the back I do not think there will be lot to change, maybe Ashley can come in I do not know yet but Clichy has done well.

"Sol Campbell will play at centre back though."
