Arsène Wenger has injury concerns over his full backs for the FA Cup Semi-Final with Chelsea on Saturday. The Arsenal manager is definitely without Gael Clichy (back) while Bacary Sagna is still a doubt after pulling out of the game with Villarreal on Wednesday night with a virus.

Kieran Gibbs picked a groin problem in Arsenal vs Villareal 3-0 victory so, with William Gallas (knee) and Johan Djourou (knee) certainly out, Wenger will have to shuffle his defence once more. However, further forward on the pitch there was better news.

“Of course we gain Arshavin back because he can play in the FA Cup,” said Wenger. “Eduardo and Diaby are available for selection as well. For the record, the manager estimated that Almunia (ankle), Djourou (knee) were a fortnight away while Clichy (back) is in the middle of a two-and-a-half week period of rest. Only then will the Frenchman start his rehab in earnest.
