Trio out so Wenger faces Gilberto decision

Arsène Wenger has one decision to make ahead of the Champions League Group H opener against Sevilla at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.

Arsenal still have William Gallas (groin), Emmanuel Eboue (ankle) and Jens Lehmann (elbow) out. But the manager is mulling over whether to rest Gilberto now Philippe Senderos is back from suspension.

The Brazilian filled in at centre back against Tottenham on Saturday despite a globe-trotting week on international duty.

“We are still without William Gallas, Emmanuel Eboue and Jens Lehmann,” said Wenger. “I have not decided [about Gilberto] yet. I will decide tomorrow but Senderos is back in the squad.”

Gallas is to be expected back for the West Ham game a week on Saturday.

The answer will be revealed very shortly.
