ARSENAL will be without leading scorer Robin van Persie, striker Eduardo and defender Mikael Silvestre (all groin) for tomorrow's Barclays Premier League trip to Portsmouth.
However, Andrey Arshavin is available again having been cup-tied for the midweek Champions League semi-final, first leg at Manchester United as manager Arsene Wenger looks set to rotate his side.
Left-back Gael Clichy (back) remains sidelined, while centre-half William Gallas (knee) and long-term absentee Tomas Rosicky will miss the rest of the campaign.
Provisional squad: Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Djourou, Gibbs, Arshavin, Denilson, Song, Eboue, Bendtner, Vela, Fabianski, Nasri, Fabregas, Walcott, Adebayor, Diaby, Ramsey.
