Wenger plans disrupted by injuries

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger must rethink his plans for three matches in eight days following the loss of Freddie Ljungberg, Emmanuel Eboue and Julio Baptista to injury.

The Gunners host struggling Watford on Saturday looking to make it four straight Barclays Premiership victories before heading out to Russia for next week’s Champions League clash against CSKA Moscow. A hectic schedule is then completed with a trip to top-flight newboys Reading on October 22.
