William Gallas and Mikael Silvestre have been ruled out for up to three weeks through injury, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed.

Wenger revealed he expected Toure to return from a groin problem for Saturday’s game, but that Gallas had joined Silvestre on the sidelines with a hamstring problem.

“Kolo and Denilson will be back available,” Wenger told Arsenal TV Online. “However, unfortunately we have lost William Gallas with a hamstring problem.

“We lost Silvestre too with a thigh problem last week as well. So we have lost two players from the game on Saturday, but we have gained two back.

“I think Gallas and Silvestre will be out for three weeks.”
