Arsene Wenger hopes an injury to England defender Kieran Gibbs will not overshadow Arsenal's Carling Cup extra-time win at Tottenham.[LNB] The 20-year-old left-back hobbled out after 102 minutes of Tuesday night's tie with what the Gunners boss fears could be another metatarsal problem, the youngster having missed a large part of last season and with it the chance to feature at the World Cup because of a similar injury.[LNB]Wenger - who served a one-match touchline ban on Tuesday night after admitting a misconduct charge from the Football Association - hopes the prognosis is positive on Gibbs, who was handed his senior international debut in the friendly against Hungary at the start of the season.[LNB]"We have to check, that is the only disappointment of the night, because Gibbs had a very good game," said the Arsenal manager.[LNB]"We hope we do not get bad news tomorrow morning.[LNB]"It is a metatarsal again, it is the one next to the one he had broken, the second one, so we hope we have good news tomorrow morning, because that would be a massive blow to us."
