Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has admitted that Mathieu Flamini, Cesc Fabregas and Alexander Hleb could be set for an early return to action against Chelsea at the weekend. The Arsenal manager is unsure who to play for Sunday's crucial game.
The French manager has doubts over Cesc Fabregas, Alexander Hleb, Mathieu Flamini and Robin van Persie due to fitness concerns.
Dutch striker Van Persie has the best chance of featuring after taking part in Arsenal's midweek UEFA Champions League match against Steaua Bucharest.
Midfielder Abou Diaby has also handed Wenger a boost by returning to action against the Romanian outfit.
"It is very early and we have so many question-marks against players," Wenger told Arsenal TV.
"But all three [who came back against Steaua] could be involved as they are all quality players.
"The question marks are against Flamini, Fabregas and Hleb. They are practicing but not with the team. They are not in normal training."
Wenger will leave it late before making his final decision.
"Who will come back into normal training before Sunday? It could be one, two or three. It is too early to say."
"And the selection will depend on that becuase you can gamble on one or two but not five," he added.
