Arsenal will be without Nicklas Bendtner for Tuesday's Champions League game against Olympiakos after the striker was involved in a minor car accident.
"Nicklas did not practice because he had a car accident on Sunday," manager Arsene Wenger said. "Fortunately there was no real long-term damage, but he was bruised and we thought it better he did not train. He should be back for Sunday's game [against Blackburn]."
England forward Theo Walcott is expected to return from a back problem in time for the weekend, but Denilson is set for up to two months on the sidelines with a fracture to his back.
Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is still troubled by the chest infection, so Vito Mannone will continue in his place following man-of-the-match display against Fulham.
Samir Nasri (leg), Lukasz Fabianski (knee) and Johan Djourou (knee) remain out.

Joseph... you sound like a United fan trying (unsuccessfully) to pass himself off as a Gooner. Nice try, mate.

I am an Arsenal fan who used to stand in the north bank and considers himself to be an unbiased supporter. I have analysed Arsenal and this is the situation.
1.Arsene Wenger does not listen to the fans, sells players for a lot but will not buy for the same amount.
2. Arsene Wenger wants to play successful football and become a successful manager with average players.
3. Arsenal have been found out because talentless players, that is 16 out of the 22 squad do not have a footballing brain.
4. Wayne Rooney is world class and has been since he was a kid, the arsenal youngsters cannot develop anymore as they were never good enough in the first place.
5. Under Wenger we are in trouble, we will come fourth and he will see it as a success.
6. We will win nothing this year or the next.
7. Fabrigas has seen the light and his body language suggests he wants to leave.
personally, we have put too much trust into the french napolean and it is backfiring, look at the stats, he has been the arsenal manager for 13 seasons and 8 out of the 13 we won nothing, facts!
Money breeds success whether will agree with it or not. Wengers excuse for not spending 30 million over the summer " i did not want to!" now you can judge the situation clearly.
Get him out i say and get the board out now!
Hope the youngsters will give their best...
LIVE GOONERS.
