Wenger at a loss to replace banned Arsenal quartet

ARSENE WENGER last night assessed Arsenal’s worsening selection dilemma for Saturday’s St Andrews showdown with Birmingham and admitted: “I don’t know what I’ll do.”

The Gunners boss was already drawing up Plan B to counteract the absence of Patrick Vieira, Ray Parlour, Lauren and Martin Keown.

The quartet are banned as a result of FA punishment for their confrontation with Manchester United players at the end of the 0-0 Old Trafford draw in September.
