Manager Arsène Wenger has once again re-iterated why he won't be buying any reinforcements in the January transfer window.

To the dismay of Arsenal fans, the Frenchman says that he has enough players in his squad to mount a realistic challenge in any competition.

Midfielder Abou Diaby is returning from almost a year injured and is in the squad to face Liverpool in the Carling Cup. Right-back Lauren is also fighting to earn a first team spot.

Former Chelsea defender William Gallas is also on course to be fit soon.

Wenger said: "We have Diaby in the squad for the first time and Emmanuel Adebayor is very strongly coming back. Blackburn is possible for him.

"Lauren is not in the squad for Liverpool, he has a small toe injury. William Gallas will not play either.

"But basically the only real injury is Ljungberg, he needs one more week after Blackburn.

"That is why I said for a long time that I won't buy anyone [in the transfer window]. I knew I had enough players when they came back from injury."
