Freddie Ljungberg will not
take any part in Arsenal's game with Manchester City on Tuesday
after succumbing to a hamstring injury.
The Swedish international picked up the problem in Saturday's
crucial 2-1 win over Bolton, although The Gunners have not yet
clarified if the injury to the midfielder will result in a long
term absence.
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Ljungberg will miss out for the
visit of City, with Julio Baptista and Jeremie Aliadiere both
possible candidates to replace the Swede in a support role to
Emmanuel Adebayor.
"We lost Freddie Ljungberg on Saturday with a hamstring injury but
everybody else should be available," Wenger told the club's
official website.
"There will not be too much rotation I think. We feel that
stability is important at the moment.
"We are not in other competitions and we know we have a breather
before the Tottenham game. Therefore I feel it is important to gain
a little bit of stability at the moment."
