Wenger on squad injuries
Manager Arsène Wenger has revealed that defenders William Gallas and Gaël Clichy together with goalkeeper Manuel Almunia suffered injuries from facing Villareal.
Both Gallas and Almunia had to be substituted in the first half against the Spanish side. It is thought that Gallas would be out for the rest of the season.
Wenger said: "Gallas is a quick recoverer but we think he will be short to come back before the end of the season.
"It's a big, big blow but that's where the squad come in.
"I believe as well we have lost Manuel Almunia for three weeks and we lost Gaël Clichy for two weeks with a back problem.
"We lost three players on Tuesday night so we have to once again rely on the depth in the squad - that is quite strong.
"As well we have to rely on our mental strength because until now we have dealt well with all our injury problems.
"Robin van Persie and Eduardo will have tests tomorrow morning.
"They might be available. And of course we have Andrey Arshavin available for Saturday."
