Wenger waits on Gibbs verdict

Arsenal, 09:36, November 18, 2009 ,

Arsenal are sweating over the fitness of Kieran Gibbs after he suffered a suspected broken foot playing for the England U-21s.

The Gunners youngster had to leave the field in the first half of the Under-21 European Championship qualifier in Lithuania and reports claim he has a broken metatarsal.
If that turns out to be the case it will be another huge blow for Arsene Wenger who already has 11 players on the treatment table.
Gibbs was set to slot in at left back after Gael Clichy was ruled out with a back injury and now the Gunners boss will be praying the injury to the young defender is nothing serious.
Robin van Persie, Nicklas Bendtner, Gael Clichy, Denilson, Abou Diaby, Johan Djourou, Jack Wilshere, Lukasz Fabianski, Theo Walcott, Armand Traore and Carlos Vela are all out injured.
