Arsenal will hand fitness tests to Thierry Henry, Mikel Arteta (both calf) and Bacary Sagna (ankle) ahead of Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Aston Villa.
Defender Francis Coquelin has recovered from a hamstring problem, but midfielder Jack Wilshere suffered a setback in his rehabilitation from an ankle injury.
Full-back Kieran Gibbs (groin) should return to full training next week, but Carl Jenkinson (back), Andre Santos (ankle) and midfielder Abou Diaby (hamstring) are still out while strikers Marouane Chamakh and Gervinho are away at the African Nations Cup.

So funny, from invincibles to vulnerables to a loss any time. SORRY WENGER, SHAME UPON YOU WITH UR SHARP NOSE
From Invincible to Vulnerable.No silverware for 8 years,Mr Wenger pls show them your invincible team videos to the players and when they can do what they do.....everyone will be proud of ARSENAL.Pires,Wiltord,Henry,Lundberg,Viera,Gilbeto,Camp bell,Seaman,Toure,Lauren will be remembered FOREVER by us,Arsenal Fans.
Wenger just accept it that you fail to meet the goal, so leave it to other on coaching the club
when Arsenalis we are going to be ?, as the past
Wenger too much economical pain your family
Abou Diaby is not a footballer. He should leave the team alone.
at the end of the day Arsenal in a fans eyes are the best ! a true fan may never waver or offer any doubt even when playing badly or due to injuries ,i do believe though that Wenger should spend we are not asking him to break the bank or go all out and buy man utd but the rumours of Podolski coming would of been great. We do ask a lot of our players and the money they are on they should perform but 1 player does not make a team and when so many injuries are around at once with many of the key players Arsenal are bound to struggle but keep the faith and stay true to the team once a gunner always a gunner. It is frustrating that no silver has entered our glorious cabinet in a while but let the Utd's have their day as when they are too old to keep up with our younger team they will suffer and at least we are not in the red like most teams but Wenger please sign at least 2 players to help out whilst the injured may take time to recover !
i laugh
Too many fair weather fans on these sites,if they were real Asenal supporters they would always be behind the club and the manager and never but never call the players or the manager,if you dont like the way things are then F*U*C*K off and seek your glory with chelski or manure,at least when Arsenal win a title we dont buy it!.
Enough with excuses. We've had seven years worth. Sack Wenger The Clown.
What people tend to forget is that arsenal have had injuries all season and have yet to play a single game with thier full strength team, yet they have manage to get to 5th when nearly everyone had them going down or at best staying around 10th, so the ones that have been fit have done well, when we finally be able to play with a full strength team we should be alot better.
Even with all these injured players, Arsenal's squad is still too short on everthing! How can anyone hope that Diaby can make any difference even if he were fit? Ibe - Naija
When did Arsenal last have their 1st team out playing and at what stage of the season did we not have at least 4 key players missing through injury or other duties!
Just goes to prove that the club doesn't have enough quality in depth to compete against the top teams, something has to change because the supporters will show their frustration and that wont be good for moral and the club.
PLease can we stop talking about this useless Diaby? Is he even a footballer?
who is this Abou Diaby when does he ever play lmao
