Arsenal will have centre-half Laurent Koscielny available following a knee problem for tomorrow’s Barclays Premier League trip to QPR.
Midfielder Abou Diaby (hamstring) is not expected to be back in contention, but like Francis Coquelin (hamstring) is close to match fitness.
Centre-back Per Mertesacker (ankle) and midfielder Jack Wilshere (ankle) remain sidelined.
Provisional Squad: Szczesny, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Song, Arteta, Rosicky, Walcott, Gervinho, van Persie, Fabianski, Gibbs, Djourou, Santos, Jenkinson, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Benayoun, Chamakh.
