[LNB]The Croatia marksman has failed to recover from the hamstring injury he sustained in the goalless draw with Aston Villa last week.

[LNB]"He progresses very well but we will still have to wait until Saturday. He is a maybe. Eduardo is already ruled out. [LNB]"Theo Walcott is back and available so Diaby is the only question mark we have. All the others are longer term injuries."
