Arsène Wenger does not know if he will have Kolo Touré available to him at Old Trafford this weekend.

The Ivorian defender went off after half an hour in Hamburg after picking up a hip injury and is now a doubt for Sunday's big game against Manchester United.

"It was a kick on the hip. It looks muscle damage, but we do not know if he can play on Sunday at the moment," said Wenger.

"It is very difficult to say."

With Philippe Senderos also out, this would leave Arsenal very short of options at the back, most probably having to rely on two youngsters who at times have looked shakey in Johan Djourou and Justin Hoyte, although William Gallas would take up his preferred position in the centre of defence.

Let's hope Kolo makes it, because his loss is just made worse by the fact that Hoyte would have to play. Cristiano Ronaldo would destroy him.

To be honest, it's looking like a bit of a nightmare at the moment with the daunting possibility of maybe going to Manchester without Thierry Henry as well, making it two key, experienced players in our Touré-Gilberto-Henry spine that could be missing. Ouch.
