Arsène Wenger will welcome back Manuel Almunia for Saturday’s clash with Birmingham but Arsenal have fresh injury worries as they resume their Premier League campaign.
Almunia has missed six games with a chest infection but could replace Vito Mannone between the posts this weekend.
However Nicklas Bendtner, Gael Clichy, Carlos Vela and Eduardo will not be available and Lukasz Fabianksi will have to wait a little longer for his comeback after a minor setback in his recovery from knee surgery.

probably right. i'd guess (and pray) rosicky starts instead of eboue.

it's amazing the number of injuries we get. simply amazing.

not your fault. he was injured for so long that i sometimes forget that we have such a wonderful player in our squad.

i think he is probably my favourite player. it's definettly going to be my next arsenal shirt, if he does not leave on the summer.
