Defender Kolo Touré and Samir Nasri have both been confirmed to be in the squad to face West Brom Albion tomorrow.

However, midfield maestro Francesc Fabregas has been excluded from the squad due to a hamstring injury.

Manager Arsène Wenger confirmed Nasri and Touré's participation.

The Frenchman said: "Kolo is still short, but because we have so many injuries I have to rush him a little bit.

"So compared to Wednesday night, Nasri and Kolo are back in the squad."

The following players are still injured and will not play against West Brom tomorrow:

Philippe Senderos (hamstring)
Francesc Fabregas (hamstring)
Abou Diaby (thigh)
Eduardo (leg)
Tomas Rosicky (hamstring)
Amaury Bischoff (groin)
Alex Song (Olympics)

wenger should insist on stengthening the defence and the striking force by bringing in one strong central defender and one striker.The midfield is superb.This is our season.

'rush him back' repeating the same mistake over and over is madness, just stick someone else in for a game.

We can win tomorrows game without risking any players that are carrying slight/niggling injuries so maybe Kolo & Nasri will be on the bench. Djourou didn't play too badly agaisnt Twente in the CL game and he needs a run in the 1st team. Eaither way lets hope the injury situation clears up FAST and we get a good result tomorrow.

Come on U GUNNERS!
