Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger hoping Kieran Gibbs will be fit for Burnley clash

ARSENE WENGER is hoping to receive a fitness boost over Kieran Gibbs.

DOUBT: Kieran Gibbs picked up a hip problem in Arsenal's 2-0 win over Sunderland

The Gunners boss will find out if the England left-back will be fit to face Burnley today.

Gibbs had to come off in the closing stages of Arsenal's 2-0 win at Sunderland with a hip problem.

Wenger said yesterday: "He is a doubt but we'll know more tomorrow."

Arsenal's injury crisis is slowly clearing up and they have reduced their number of long-term absentees to five.

Theo Walcott could make his first appearance since January after being an unused sub at Sunderland last week.

That was his first involvement with the first team for nine months.

Jack Wilshere will return after serving a one-game ban against Sunderland and striker Yaya Sanogo is fit again after missing the last two months with a hamstring injury.
