FA Cup: Henry facing fitness test ahead of Blackburn clash

Arsene Wenger is without Kanu for this weekend's FA Cup sixth round tie against Blackburn at Highbury as the striker is on international duty with Nigeria.

Silvinho, meanwhile, only flew back from international duty today, while Martin Keown (knee), Edu (hamstring) and Ray Parlour (hamstring) are all ruled out.

An X-ray showed Thierry Henry had no major problem after receiving a knock during the midweek Champions League win against Spartak Moscow, but he will still have a late fitness test.

England Under-21 midfielder David Dunn is expected to return for Blackburn.

Dunn missed the midweek victory over Bolton with a toe injury.

Henning Berg and John Curtis were rested but return to the squad.

Arsenal team (from): Seaman, Manninger, Dixon, Cole, Silvinho, Adams, Grimandi, Lauren, Vieira, Pires, Ljungberg, Henry, Bergkamp, Wiltord, Malz, Luzhny, Vivas, Stepanovs.

Blackburn team (from): Friedel, Taylor, Bjornebye, Curtis, Short, Berg, McAteer, Flitcroft, Dunn, Hignett, Duff, Keller, Berkovic, Mahon, Bent, Jansen, Hughes, Kelly.
