Arsenal trio miss next two matches

Adjust font size:

LONDON, England -- Arsenal will be without Freddie Ljungberg, Emmanuel Eboue and Julio Baptista for their next two games, manager Arsene Wenger has revealed.

The trio will miss Saturday's Premier League game against Watford and Tuesday's Champions League trip to Moscow to face CSKA.

Midfielder Ljungberg suffered a calf injury playing for Sweden against Spain on Saturday. Defender Eboue hurt his knee while on international duty for Ivory Coast while Brazilian striker Baptista hurt his hamstring in training.

"Unfortunately when you have so many players away you can have some bad news," Wenger told the club's official Web site.

Meanwhile, defenders Gael Clichy and Philippe Senderos are both making good progress as they recover from their injuries but are unlikely to make an imminent return to the side.
