Arsenal are without Cesc Fabregas and several other first-team stars for Wednesday's Champions League qualifier against FC Twente in Holland.Fabregas (hamstring) joins the likes of Kolo Toure (hip), Abou Diaby (thigh), Philippe Senderos (hamstring) and summer signing Samri Nasri (knee/thigh) on the sidelines along with Tomas Rosicky and Eduardo, who are both recovering from long-term injuries.
The number of absentees for the third qualifying round first-leg tie at the Grolsch Veste means Wales Under-21 international Aaron Ramsey - who joined the Gunners in a £5million deal from Cardiff - could be handed a full competitive debut alongside young Brazilian Denilson in midfield.
Arsenal (from): Almunia, Fabianski, Sagna, Gallas, Clichy, Hoyte, Djourou, Ramsey, Wilshere, Gibbs, Denilson, Walcott, Eboue, Randall, Adebayor, Van Persie, Bendtner, Vela.

THIS IS JUST THE RIGHT TIME FOR PROF. WENGER TO MAKE THE MOVE FOR BARRY OR XABI ALONSO. ARSENAL REALLY NEED TO BE STRONG IF THEY ARE TO WIN THE PREMIERSHIP AND CL.
boy Barry would sure look good in an Arsenal Shirt, looking at this line-up. Walcott it's time to live up to the billing son.
I'm hoping that Ramsey, Vela, and Wilshire will shine against FC Twente...
