"Fortunately there was no real long-term damage, but he was bruised and we thought it better he did not train. "He should be back for Sunday's game [against Blackburn]." Police confirmed that no other cars were involved in the accident which took place yesterday morning. "We were called at 10.15am to a report of a single vehicle road traffic collision," a member of the Hertfordshire police force said. "A black Aston Martin vehicle had left the road. The driver was not seriously injured."Arsenal will also be without Theo Walcott and Denilson tomorrow night. The England forward is expected to return from a back problem by the weekend but Denilson is set for up to two months on the sidelines with a fracture to his back. Further to these absences, Manuel Almunia is still troubled by a chest infection so Vito Mannone will continue in his place following man-of-the-match display against Fulham.
