Theo Walcott and Eduardo will be included in the Arsenal
squad for Sunday's FA Cup fifth round game against
Burnley.
Walcott has not featured since dislocating his shoulder while on
international duty with England ahead of their friendly with
Germany in November.
Croatia striker Eduardo made an emotional return from his
horrific leg break with two goals in last month's FA Cup victory
over Cardiff before he suffered a hamstring injury in the same
match.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed the duo are in his
plans to face the Clarets but will wait until nearer kick-off
before deciding if they will make the starting XI.
"I will see how they (Walcott and Eduardo) look tomorrow and
Saturday but they will certainly be in the squad, especially Theo,"
Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
"We have to wait and see how Eduardo reacts and responds to his
injury."
Kolo Toure will miss the clash after he suffered a calf injury
in the midweek win over West Brom but Wenger is hopeful that
William Gallas will be fit to return after he missed the Hawthorns
fixture with an ankle problem.
Ivory Coast international Toure has been pencilled in to tackle
Roma in the second leg of the Gunners' UEFA Champions League
last-16 meeting next week, but striker Emmanuel Adebayor will not
feature in the Italian capital on Wednesday due to his hamstring
injury.
Wenger added: "We are quite optimistic about Kolo but we have to
assess the situation today completely. I don't think I will involve
him on Sunday. But Gallas should be back for Sunday and it looks to
be like Kolo will be back for next week [against Roma].
"Adebayor is definitely out for Sunday and for Roma too."
The Frenchman is set to make changes to his squad for the FA Cup
clash, but has warned his side they cannot afford to be distracted
by the forthcoming European clash.
"Sunday is a big game for us and rotation will be there for some
players who have played full games," said Wenger. "(Lukasz)
Fabianski will continue in goal and we will try to have a good
balance, a good quality.
"The most important thing for us is not to think about Roma, but
to focus on this game and qualify. The best way to deal with the
next game is to win this one."
