Arsenal will have midfielder Tomas Rosicky available again following a hamstring injury for tomorrow's Champions League Group F encounter with Napoli at the Emirates Stadium. Theo Walcott has responded well to surgery on a minor abdominal problem, but is now set for up to five weeks on the sidelines. Good to hear it went well, unfortunately he'll be out for over a month. Having Rosicky back and Cazorla back soon will be very welcome.

Conflicting reports, taken from BBC news. If he's having surgery you'd think he would need some significant time to recover. Hopefully he'll be back sooner rather than later.
Wenger said optimistically 3, but realistically 5. Was on the Arsenal website before our last league game.
He didn't. Wenger said the entire squad made it through unscathed in the press conference and we get Rosicky back.

We have slipped to 4th place. This is what you get when you support a club with no ambition. I demand that we are top. Players should be throwing themselves under buses in order for us to be top. Gazardis should be buying players that are long term injured, so that we can compete again. Sack the medical staff. Why don't these people understand what the fans know; that we are a big club and need to be on top of the table?
What's the news on Ramsey? I only watched 5 mins of your game yesterday but heard he'd picked up an injury?
He was feeling his hamstring at the end of the first half but then he played most of the second half so i'm pretty sure it was nothing
Bad news but we have Jenks as backup. Good thing we have 2 left-backs available. Can Flamini double up as a right back?

That's what I said....By the time we get 1 back, another goes out....So who's gonna be out when Cazorla returns after the international break?
Just had an argument with someone on Twatter who said we need to sell players because we should only have two players for each position Or does he not realize that we are ****ing cursed with injured, squad depth is important, or more players equals more tactical variability?
The longer Diaby is injured the better footballer he is for fans. I remember the season he was playing regularly. He was awful. On his day he is good. But the problem is I remember just two good days for Diaby in the last 5 years. He has some natural ability but no brain whatsoever and a good game for Diaby is just a fluke in my book, until he proves me wrong by playing well consistently. What we need is consistency, for every impressive run Diaby has three misplaced passes and five concentration lapses that cost us dearly. And that is his pattern for years. I will be glad if he will make it, but I seriously doubt it will ever happen.
