Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger provided mixed news after last Tuesday’s Champions League game which sealed qualification for the Gunners.

Kieran Gibbs will be sidelined for months whilst William Gallas and Andrey Arshavin should both be fit to start, on Sunday, against Chelsea.

Wenger said:

Gibbs has a big hole in his leg. It was a very bad challenge by the No 22 and it was not his first try, unfortunately. It doesn’t look good for Gibbs.

Gallas has an ankle problem and a swollen eye. I think he will recover for Sunday, we hope so. It wasn’t concussion but he couldn’t see anymore because his eye was swollen.

Arshavin has some staples in his head. He will be available for Sunday.
