Arsenal To Face Fenerbahce Without Gallas, Walcott & Adebayor

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger will be without captain William Gallas, Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor for their Champions League clash against Fenerbahce on Wednesday.

Defender Gallas (hamstring), winger Walcott (shoulder) and striker Adebayor (ankle), are currently injured.

However Bacary Sagna has recovered just in time for the clash after he was seen limping off at Stoke City at the weekend. However Emmanuel Eboue (knee) will continue to be out along with long-term absentees Eduardo (ankle) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring).

Of those injured only Walcott could make a comeback against Manchester United at the weekend with Gallas too having fair amount of chance.

"[Walcott, Adebayor and Gallas] are all injured,” said Wenger at Tuesday’s press conference. “It is not more serious than that. Gallas and Walcott are short-term but Adebayor is a bit longer, Eboue as well.”

When questioned as to who could make a comeback for the crucial weekend clash with Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, Wenger replied: “Gallas and especially Walcott.”
