Arsène Wenger has provided positive news on the injury front, with several players being available for selection for the FA Cup tie against Liverpool this Saturday.

Emmanuel Eboue is available for selection again and so is Theo Walcott.

Walcott's return will be a welcome boost as Arsenal currently have Emmanuel Adebayor injured.

Adebayor is however making good progress and so is William Gallas. Lauren is also looking to make a comeback after a year out and is looking better and better in training.

Wenger said: "The news is quite good at the moment.

"We have no new injuries from the Charlton game and we have Eboue available for Saturday.

"Julio Baptista might come back too and William Gallas is very close (to a return).

"The news of Theo Walcott's back is very good. He and (William) Gallas are possibles for the Carling Cup (on Tuesday).

"Lauren is ready to play. He is looking, from week to week, better and better in training. Emmanuel Adebayor should be back for the Blackburn game."

Abou Diaby is also back in training after 12 months out with a horrific leg injury.

Wenger added: "It is great news.

"He had his first complete training session today.

"Abou is so happy to play and his performance was very positive."

However, central defender Johan Djourou and winger Freddie Ljungberg remain injury concerns.
