Senderos doubt for Gunners

Arsenal are sweating on the fitness of defender Philippe Senderos (hip) and winger Alexander Hleb (knee) ahead of tomorrow’s visit of struggling Derby.

Captain William Gallas (groin), keeper Jens Lehmann (elbow) and Emmanuel Eboue (ankle) have been joined on the sidelines by midfielder Tomas Rosicky (hamstring).

Gilberto and Theo Walcott are standing by for a first-team call-up having been on the bench for the midweek Champions League victory over Sevilla.

Provisional squad: Almunia, Clichy, Sagna, Senderos, Toure, Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, Diaby, Adebayor, van Persie, Fabianski, Eduardo, Diarra, Denilson, Gilberto, Walcott, Song, Bendtner, Hoyte.
