Arsenal will have both Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott available for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Blackburn.

Arsenal will have both Nicklas Bendtner and Theo Walcott available for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Blackburn.

Bendtner has recovered from minor injuries after a car crash, while Walcott is ready for his first game of the season following a back problem.

However, forward Eduardo (groin) is out and goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is still not fully match fit following a chest infection, so Vito Mannone will continue to deputise.

Samir Nasri (leg), Denilson (back), Lukasz Fabianski (knee) and Johan Djourou (knee) remain out.

Team (from): Mannone, Clichy, Gallas, Vermaelen, Sagna, Song, Diaby, Fabregas, Arshavin, Walcott, van Persie, Szczesny, Bendtner, Rosicky, Eboue, Silvestre, Ramsey, Gibbs, Wilshere, Vela.
