Injury update

Long term absentees Jack Wilshere, Emmanuel Frimpong, Tomas Rosicky and Bacary Sagna all trained yesterday morning, doing fitness work AND ball work which is fantastic news. They will continue their light training this morning. 

Jack is expected to join in with full training at some point next week along with Frimpong, whilst Sagna and Rosicky are slightly behind. The latter two are expected to return to full training the following week. 

All the long term absentees will need time to get up to speed, I'd say about 10 days/2weeks of full training to get some match fitness and then most importantly they will need games. 

Wojciech Szczesny has recovered from his rib injury and joined in with training yesterday; he should be available for Saturday. Meanwhile, Theo Walcott has withdrawn from the England squad with Illness. First signs are he'll be OK for Saturday, expecting more concrete news on him as the week progresses. 

Will have an update on Diaby's fitness either later today or tomorrow, after he has been assessed. No real concern at the moment.
