Gilberto Back For Arsenal On Saturday
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Philippe Senderos
has been passed fit for Saturdays visit of Derby, and Gilberto
will return to the side.
Wednesdays excellent 3-0 victory over Sevilla appears to have come
at a price, with both Alex Hleb and Tomas Rosicky out for
Saturdays game against Derby.
It was thought that Swiss defender Philippe Senderos would also be
missing after picking up a knock against the Spaniards, but Arsene
Wenger has revealed that he has been passed fit for the weekend
clash.
There are still three other absentees for Arsenal, however Wenger
believes he has the strength in depth to rotate the squad.
We still have Eboue (ankle), Gallas (groin) and Lehmann [elbow)
out, said Wenger. We have lost Rosicky and Hleb as well now.
Rosicky has a minor strain and will be out for 10 days, Hleb has a
knee injury. But Senderos will be fit.
I will rotate a little bit and try to get the right mixture
between stability and some fresh legs as well, he said. Gilberto
will be back, maybe Theo Walcott will start, I do not know yet.
Eduardo down the left can be a possibility as well.
