Wenger waits on injured 3

Arsene Wenger is waiting for information from his physio room to find out the status of injured trio Bacary Sagna, Theo Walcott and Emmanuel Adebayor. The three were all injured in the 2-1 defeat to Stoke City.

"We have very bad injuries with Adebayor, Walcott and Sagna. One or two others have knocks, but it's the kind of thing that happens when you are less sharp. You become less agile and can get out of tackles less quickly," he said.

"At this stage, we don't know how long they will be out. But Robin van Persie's red card was very, very harsh. If (Stoke defender) Andy Griffin does not get a yellow card in the game and Van Persie gets a red, then I have to review my rule book.

"He should not have done what he did, but I don't think it was a red card."
