Arsenal will be without captain Cesc Fabregas because of a hamstring problem for the Champions League clash with Porto at Emirates Stadium. Cameroon international Alex Song is available as his two-match suspension does not apply in Europe, while veteran centre-back Sol Campbell has recovered from a groin problem. Andrey Arshavin and Abou Diaby could both feature after coming off the bench against Burnley, while Mexican Carlos Vela could return to the squad after international duty. William Gallas (calf) is still sidelined, while Aaron Ramsey (broken leg), Robin van Persie (ankle) and Johan Djourou (knee) are long-term absentees. | |||||
