Arsenal will be without Alexander Hleb and Mathieu Flamini for Wednesday's trip to Newcastle, while Cesc Fabregas also misses out at St James'. Hleb is struggling with an Achilles injury while Fabregas, who missed the win at Aston Villa, is doubtful again with his hamstring problem.
Flamini has been added to their absentee list with a reccurrence of his thigh problem.
Abou Diaby (back) is also likely to miss out, while Robin van Persie is definitely missing as he continues to work on his match fitness following a knee problem.
