Gunners anticipate Fabregas return
Fabregas, 22, aggravated his hamstring injury during a cameo against Aston Villa 12 days ago and there were hopes of the Spain midfielder returning to face David Moyes' men - but instead he will be pencilled in for the Premier League trip to the Reebok Stadium next weekend.[LNB]"Fabregas should be available for Bolton and (Gael) Clichy is not far," Wenger said.[LNB]Alex Song and Emmanuel Eboue are at the African Nations Cup but Wenger's options have at least been bolstered by Tomas Rosicky's return from a groin problem in the same week the Czech Republic midfielder signed a new contract at the club.[LNB]Denilson and Andrey Arshavin were scheduled to return for the midweek clash at home to Bolton that was eventually postponed due to snow.[LNB]"Basically [our squad] is exactly the same as it was before the Bolton game, apart from Tomas Rosicky," said Wenger.[LNB]"We have a good hope that we will get him back in the squad. But he is the only one that should come back.[LNB]"He missed out at West Ham because of a groin injury. He has little problems but when you go back to the scan it always comes back reassuring.[LNB]"I believe that is down to the fact that he has not played for such a long time and that his body has to readapt again. But now he is back and completely fit."[LNB]It means Nicklas Bendtner (groin), Theo Walcott (side strain), Gael Clichy (back), Kieran Gibbs (foot), Robin van Persie (ankle) and Johan Djourou (knee) remain out.[LNB]The extent of Bendtner's groin problem will be discovered later this week when he undergoes tests.[LNB]"When Bendtner (groin) comes back on Friday, we'll assess him," Wenger confirmed. "But I am not sure when he will come back."[LNB][LNB] Arsenal v Everton. Click here to bet.
