Arsenal have no new injury concerns ahead of the match against Liverpool but Eduardo is not ready to make his return on Wednesday.
The Croatian striker has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury but Arsène Wenger expects to have him fit for next week's Champions League trip to Porto.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday morning, the manager said that there are no fresh concerns following Sunday's defeat to Chelsea.
"We will check that before training this morning but normally we have no big injuries," he said.
"Eduardo will not be back for Liverpool, but he should be available for Porto."
Nicklas Bendtner returned from a lengthy lay-off in the trip to Aston Villa two weeks ago, but the manager is still concerned by his fitness. The Dane has not yet regained full strength after the groin injury that kept him out for almost three months.
"He is not completely fit at the moment," said Wenger. "That is one of our problems.
"He still plays a little bit handicapped, you can see he does not run free and he is not completely fit yet."
