Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is not holding out much hope that midfielder Cesc Fabregas will play any part in Saturday's Premier League clash with Hull City at the KC Stadium.
Fabregas, who was substituted against Burnley last weekend, missed the comprehensive Champions League victory over Porto and had been rated at 50/50 for the weekend.
"It is a little bit more than 50 against now," Wenger said.
"That means he will be very short for Saturday. We will assess him today. He is starting to run now but we think it would a gamble to play him on Saturday.
"Apart from him, we have an uncertainty with (Bacary) Sagna on his ankle. We also have a problem with Sol Campbell and how he will recover. He finished the Porto game with cramp. They are doubts, not big doubts, but we have to refresh the squad a little so we will see."
