Wenger: Duo will miss game against Legia Warsaw
World Cup finalists Robin van Persie and Cesc Fabregas will miss our pre-season friendly against Legia Warsaw this weekend.
The duo have yet to return to the club, having been given an extended holiday due to their international commitments, but are due to return this week. The Warsaw game however, will be too soon for them.
Both represented their countries in the World Cup final, but van Persie played by far the more games, Fabregas being confined to the bench for most of Spain's campaign.
Manager Arsène Wenger said that the players who helped Arsenal retain the Emirates Cup would instead be traveling to Poland, which is the final game in the club's pre-season programme.
The other player who will not be traveling to Warsaw is Alex Song, who has yet to recover from injury and has yet to participate in any of the pre-season games.
Wenger said: "Against Legia Warsaw you will see the players we saw [in the Emirates Cup].
"I believe Song will be short, you have a little chance to see Denilson and a very little chance to see Diaby. But Fabregas and van Persie will not be ready."
Arsenal start the 2010/11 season with a trip to Anfield on Sunday, 15 August.
