Arsenal Facing Injury Woes ahead of Wigan Athletic Clash

Arsenal may have lost two matches in a row in premier league, but the Gunners must have retained some confidence through last Wednesday’s excellent come-from-back victory over Belgian side Standard Liege. Arsenal will face Wigan Athletic on Saturday and it has been pretty much certain that the Gunners will miss the services of Theo Walcott, Samir Nasri, Carlos Vela, Johan Djourou and Denilson, who still needs at least one week to get over his back problem.

The only good sign is that Robin van Persie is most likely to come back with the Wigan match as the Dutch international is expected to recover from his knee injury. There is very little chance, Wenger said 10 percent, of Andrei Arshavin coming back in action in the next match. Moreover, regular goalkeeper Manuel Almunia and second choice goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski will remain sidelined for the Wigan match.
