Vermaelen and Jenkinson fit for Gunners

Thomas Vermaelen and Carl Jenkinson are both fit to start Arsenal’s Champions League match against Marseille at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow.

Marouane Chamakh has suffered a knee injury and is not fit, but Yossi Benayoun is available again after sitting out Saturday’s win over Chelsea due to the terms of his loan deal.

Kieran Gibbs (stomach) remains out, along with midfielders Abou Diaby and Jack Wilshere and full-back Bacary Sagna (all ankle).

Provisional squad: Szczesny, Santos, Jenkinson, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Vermaelen, Jenkinson, Walcott, Song, Ramsey, Arteta, Van Persie, Gervinho, Fabianski, Rosicky, Park, Benayoun, Frimpong, Djourou, Arshavin, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Miyaichi.
