Djourou in contention for Gunners

Defender Johan Djourou is ahead of schedule in his return from a groin injury and could play for Arsenal in Tuesday’s home game against Wolves.

Kieran Gibbs (groin), Andre Santos (ankle), Carl Jenkinson (back) and Bacary Sagna (ankle) are unavailable, meaning Francis Coquelin, Ignasi Miquel or Sebastien Squillaci could make a rare start in defence.

Alex Song returns from suspension, but Jack Wilshere (ankle), Lukasz Fabianski (knee), Vito Mannone (shoulder), Abou Diaby (hamstring) and Ryo Miyaichi (ankle) are out.

Provisional squad: Szczesny, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Squillaci, Djourou, Ramsey, Song, Arteta, Walcott, Gervinho, Van Persie, Almunia, Miquel, Benayoun, Frimpong, Arshavin, Chamakh, Coquelin, Rosicky, Oxlade-Chamberlain.
