Duo sidelined for Blues encounter
Clichy (ankle) and Bendtner (groin) miss the encounter with Blues at the Emirates Stadium, but Almunia should return from a virus and will take over the goalkeeping gloves from Vito Mannone.
Midfielder Abou Diaby (ankle) also picked up a problem while away with France, but is expected to be available along with captain Cesc Fabregas who missed Spain's midweek game for personal reasons.
Mexico striker Carlos Vela is on his way back from Central America and so will not be included.
Reserve keeper Lukasz Fabianski is close to a return following knee surgery, but winger Samir Nasri (broken leg), Croatia striker Eduardo (thigh) and Denilson (back) remain sidelined.
Gunners (from): Almunia, Gibbs, Gallas, Vermaelen, Sagna, Rosicky, Fabregas, Song, Arshavin, Walcott, van Persie, Mannone, Eboue, Diaby, Wilshere, Ramsey, Senderos, Silvestre.
