Almunia ready for Gunners return

Lukasz Fabianski’s thigh injury has put Manuel Almunia back in the frame for Arsenal’s Barclays Premier League clash against rivals Tottenham at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

Poland goalkeeper Fabianski picked up the injury in the midweek Carling Cup win over Liverpool, while rookie stopper Vito Mannone has made recent mistakes. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger kept Mannone in the team despite Almunia, 32, recovering from a chest problem.
