Adebayor doubt for Gunners

Arsenal have a concern over striker Emmanuel Adebayor (groin) ahead of Sunday’s Barclays Premiership trip to Portsmouth.

Freddie Ljungberg returns from a hamstring problem, but fellow midfielder Tomas Rosicky is unavailable because of a similar injury.

Gilberto will be rested, along with Jens Lehmann, so Manuel Almunia will be in goal.

Captain Thierry Henry (groin and stomach), Robin van Persie (broken foot) and Theo Walcott (shoulder) are all sidelined.

Team (from): Almunia, Eboue, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Hleb, Fabregas, Denilson, Diaby, Baptista, Ljungberg, Adebayor, Poom, Senderos, Djourou, Hoyte, Randall.
