The club have been hit by a string of injuries in the full-back department with Bacary Sagna, Carl Jenkinson, Kieran Gibbs and Andre Santos all sidelined.

While they have been linked with a temporary move for Manchester City's Wayne Bridge in recent weeks, Wenger insists that a replacement of a suitable standard will not be available on loan.

"A player who plays anywhere in the world at the moment will not be available on loan, it doesn't exist," Wenger said.

"It can only be a guy who doesn't play or a promising player who has not yet made it completely who you could take advantage of."

The Frenchman is counting on his players returning from injury in the near future due to his struggle to find fresh options, and has revealed Jenkinson may soon be available for selection.

"That is why it is not an easy situation. You have to consider that a guy who has not played for two months is not necessarily back quicker than Bacary Sagna or another player who is just coming back from injury," he said.

"With Carl Jenkinson we had very good news on his scan and he is starting to practice again, we have Thomas Vermaelen who is the first to come back, Bacary Sagna is evolving well and Santos is doing well too. Let's hope they all come back quickly."

Meanwhile, Wenger believes the Premier League have failed to take a strong enough stance against broadcasters' demands over fixture changes.

He maintains the governing bodies must do more to limit the impact alterations due to TV rights have on clubs throughout the league - with the recent drawn out festive fixtures a case in point.

"The Premier League has to make sure there is a bit more fairness in the schedules" Wenger said.

"I don't believe in the last month or the last year, the Premier League has played a very fair role in the distribution of the fixtures."

"We have sold our soul and we do not control our fixtures anymore."

Live domestic rights to Premier League games for 2010-13 raised a total of 1.782 billion pounds, while overseas income from 212 countries amounted to 1.4 billion pounds, once again a significant rise in the money coming into the top-flight.

With such large amounts of money coming into English clubs, Wenger accepts that television coverage and it dictation of fixture schedules is all part of the modern game.

"It is the truth and I cannot say the television is wrong, but it is not normal that you can have a direct influence on the schedule through the television," he said.

"I do not want to go personal on any club. I just think, when things are repeated, they are not a coincidence any more."

"In England, it is always very difficult to say what you feel about that but, I am not the only manager who thinks that and I think there is a real problem."
