Dennis Bergkamp is ruled out of Arsenal’s game at Blackburn tomorrow after being kicked in the ribs during his side’s midweek Champions League win against Celta Vigo.
Ray Parlour, Sylvain Wiltord and Jeremie Aliadiere are also still ruled out by injury as Arsenal take on the club that beat them home and away last season.
With Bergkamp absent, Arsene Wenger could turn to Jose Reyes up front, while the Arsenal boss may consider resting Edu after his wife gave birth to their first child last night.
Provisional squad: Lehmann, Stack, Lauren, Toure, Campbell, Keown, Cygan, Cole, Clichy, Vieira, Edu, Gilberto Silva, Pires, Ljungberg, Reyes, Bentley, Henry, Bergkamp, Kanu.
