Captain Francesc Fabregas has been included in the squad to face Manchester City this weekend.
The Spaniard returns after a lengthy injury lay-off, but manager Arsène Wenger has other injury problems to contend with.
Wenger said: "Cesc is ready to play again, but he needs three games to be back to his best.
"We are due to play eight games in 25 days, which are all decisive.
"We have lost Robin van Persie for a groin problem.
"We have also lost Eduardo through a groin problem, he picked it up after 80 minutes in the Croatian game.
"We lose as well Abou Diaby with a thigh problem that he picked up in France in training.
"We might lose Nasri too because he came back with flu and could not practice today.
"So three players are out and there is a question mark over Nasri. But Fabregas, Adebayor and Walcott are all back and available in the squad.
"Nicklas texted us last night and said everything was alright with him.
"But Carlos Vela, I count out because he lands on Friday morning at 10.30am. However if needed he can be in the squad."

why Abou is always injured and for a short time he came back through injury hw is it? In the fact that Abou is not there Nasri must play flu is nothing in U.K It can be treated in minute or hours let him be in the squad let make this game difficult for them and we have to win all 8 games left so that we can evaluate ourselves.

Despite those new injuries, Arsenal has good players in all departments. Our only worry is, if errors are made in squard selection. Mr Manager sir select only the best out of what you have and do not take long to substitute any player if he proves not to peform.
This sometimes has been a problem, Arsenal would be closer to the top if those mistakes were not done in the past.
