Theo Walcott... could return to face Manchester United
Gallas, Walcott, Adebayor out for Fenerbahce
By Richard Clarke
Arsenal have lost two more first-team stars for the Champions League tie against Fenerbahce on Wednesday.
Theo Walcott (shoulder) and Emmanuel Adebayor (ankle) picked up knocks during the defeat at Stoke on Saturday. They joined William Gallas on the injury list after the captain damaged a hamstring against Tottenham.
At least Bacary Sagna has recovered after hobbling off at the Britannia Stadium but Emmanuel Eboue (knee) is still missing along with long-term absentees Eduardo (ankle) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring).
The only one of those likely to return for Manchester United on Saturday is Walcott, though Gallas has a chance too.
"[Walcott, Adebayor and Gallas] are all injured,” said Wenger at Tuesday’s press conference. “It is not more serious than that. Gallas and Walcott are short-term but Adebayor is a bit longer, Eboue as well.”
When asked who might return for the crucial weekend clash with Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, Wenger replied: “Gallas and especially Walcott.”
