Edu still absent for Gunners

Arsenal midfielder Edu is still ruled out of action for tomorrow’s trip to Crystal Palace as Arsene Wenger considers whether to freshen up his side.

Edu is not set to return from a calf injury until next week, while Gilberto Silva is sidelined with a back problem, Sol Campbell is out with an Achilles injury and Jermaine Pennant (hamstring) and Gael Clichy (ankle) are also missing.
