Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger provided an injury update with some bad news ahead of tonight’s game as Brasilian midfielder will be out for two months with a back problem.

The Frenchman said:

Nicklas Bendtner didn’t participate [in training] because he had a car accident on Sunday. Fortunately he did no long-term damage but he was bruised and we thought it was best for him not to train. He should be back for Sunday.

Eduardo will be back in the squad for Olympiacos, but Walcott will not. He is available but he’s short of competitive action at the moment – he needs a game, and we’ll organise one for him. He should be back to normal again from Sunday onwards.

On Denilson, Wenger added:

Denilson has a small fracture in his back. He will be out for two months.
