ARSENAL: Wenger might be without Ten players against Cardiff City

Arsenal could be without up to 10 stars when they welcome Cardiff City to the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

Arsene Wenger admits he has no idea what team he will pick to face the Welsh side due to his lengthy injury list . Aaron Ramsey is out for three weeks with a thigh injury and Wenger is waiting for a specialists report before discovering how long Mesut Ozil will be sidelined with a shoulder problem.

Kieran Gibbs and Olivier Giroud are set to miss out after picking up calf and ankle knocks respectively in the 1-0 win at Newcastle.

Nacho Monreal and Thomas Vermaelen are still struggling with illness. Tomas Rosicky (calf), Theo Walcott (shoulder) and Jack Wilshere (ankle) are also doubts and will be assessed today.


And Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is also still out with a knee injury but will step up his comeback bid in the next week.

Wenger said: “We have plenty of injury problems.

“It will be more a medical chance to see who is available than a training session today.

“We have to see how I can balance the team and consider who else is out and how I can get a balanced team out there
