Arsène Wenger expects Johan Djourou to be fit for the Emirates Cup.
The defender was substituted in the first half of Tuesday's 4-0 pre-season win over SC Neusiedl 1919.
Tomas Rosicky missed the match, despite being named in the starting XI. The midfielder had sustained a groin injury but Wenger says it is not serious.
"Djourou has a small hamstring problem but it is not bad," said the manager. "He should be available for the weekend.
"Rosicky had a small, small alert. He was supposed to play in the first half but he could have played.
"I didn't want to take the gamble, it is only a little problem on his groin and I decided to replace him."
Tickets for Day One of the Emirates Cup are now sold out. However, you can still purchase tickets for Day Two, which sees AC Milan take on Olympique Lyonnais before Arsenal face Celtic. Click here for more information.
