Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger provided his first injury update ahead of next Saturday’s game at the Emirates against Hull City. Speaking on Cesc Fabregas, the Frenchman declared that it’s too early to understand how serious the injury is but provided the good news that it is not a long term injury.

Wenger, who also gave updates on Denilson and Nicklas Bendtner, said:

Cesc had a scan today.We have not had the result yet. The only thing that is sure is that he will not play on Saturday. Beyond that, it all depends on the scan. Is it a tightness that just presents a small risk on Saturday or is it a slight strain – grade one or two? We’ll know that later. If it is a tear it is a small one and the maximum would be ten days. So it is not long-term.

Denilson is back and available for Saturday. But Bendtner, Rosicky, Clichy and Traore will all be too short. The first back should be Traore, maybe for Aston Villa.
