Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will be without four senior players for tomorrow's Premier League encounter against Cardiff City.
Midfielders Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil both missed Sunday's 1-0 victory over Newcastle United and are expected to be absent for the next two or three weeks.
They have been joined on the sidelines by Kieran Gibbs and Olivier Giroud, both of whom picked up knocks during the Newcastle win.
Wenger also confirmed that Jack Wilshere, Tomas Rosicky and Theo Walcott will all undergo late fitness tests ahead of Cardiff's visit to the Emirates Stadium.
