Walcott and Gallas to miss game

Theo Walcott and William Gallas are rated at 50:50 by manager Arsene Wenger for this weekend's crucial game with Man Utd at the Emirates Stadium. The duo both picked up nasty looking injuries in Arsenal's most recent games.

''We will not know about Walcott and Gallas before tomorrow afternoon. It is 50:50 for both,'' boss Arsene Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.

Meanwhile, Mikael Silvestre could well have a part to play in the game, according to Arsene Wenger.

''Mikael has a broken nose with an open wound on the side,'' said Wenger. ''Basically he should be capable of playing. But in the next 48 hours I will have to decide what we do.

''You cannot rule him out and I feel he can play. But I have to decide whether I go for the gamble or not.''
