Freddie Ljungberg has added to Arsenal's injury woes, as Arsène Wenger yesterday confirmed the Swede would be unavailable for tonight's game against Manchester City.

Ljungberg has been playing as a makeshift striker for Arsenal in recent games, with Thierry Henry, Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott out, and Julio Baptista and Jeremie Aliádíère misfiring.

And with Freddie out now with a hamstring problem, Arsenal really look stuck for options upfront alongside Emmanuel Adebayor.

"We lost Freddie Ljungberg on Saturday with a hamstring injury but everybody else should be available," Wenger told Arsenal.com.

"There will not be too much rotation I think. We feel that stability is important at the moment.

"We are not in other competitions and we know we have a breather before the Tottenham game," he added. "Therefore I feel it is important to gain a little bit of stability at the moment."

Hleb on the right, Diaby on the left, and Rosicky behind Adebayor is what I'd do. Tricky one though, we'll see!

I think Wenger did the best, by playing Diaby there, and then giving Baptista the go ahead. AW is awesome!

I'd give Jeremie another chance. He does get into scoring positions and his pace causes teams problems.

He's due a goal.

Why not Gilberto? Out of all our fit players he is our current top goal getter :)

Why change the team by playing players out of position?
Baptista keeps saying his best position is off the striker, so lets give the guy a chance in his favourite position instead of playing Diaby out of position.
