Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger provided terrific news ahead of Sunday’s game against Manchester United, revealing how defender Thomas Vermaelen suffered no fracture to his leg and could only miss this weekend’s game contrary to months on the sidelines which was initially feared.

The Frenchman also confirmed that Emmanuel Eboue and Alex Song could both feature against the Red Devils but Eduardo will miss the game.

He said:

There is no fracture in Thomas’ leg but his injury still has to be assessed. There is still a good chance he will not play on Sunday.

Eduardo has a small, small, small hamstring. He will be out for one week. He will not make Man United but he might make Chelsea.

However Emmanuel Eboue and Alex Song have been in this morning. Eboue has been running outside. They are both in good shape. Tired but in good shape. Both of them are available for Sunday.

Unfortunately Abou will not be back this weekend but he could be for Chelsea.
