Gunners sweat on Hleb illness

Arsenal winger Alex Hleb is a doubt for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Portsmouth through illness.

German keeper Jens Lehmann is still out with Achilles and elbow problems so Manuel Almunia will continue in goal.

William Gallas (groin), Emmanuel Eboue (ankle) and Bacary Sagna (back) remain in the treatment room.

Provisional squad: Almunia, Toure, Clichy, Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, Van Persie, Fabianski, Eduardo, Bendtner, Walcott, Senderos, Traore, Hoyte, Song, Gilberto, Denilson, Rosicky, Adebayor.
