Arsenal will give a fitness test to Thierry Henry ahead of Sunday's Premiership game against Sunderland to check on the hamstring injury sustained in the Champions League tie at Auxerre.
Henry is hoping to be able to start the game at Highbury, while Fredrik Ljungberg is also looking to return after missing out in midweek due to a migraine.
Ray Parlour (hamstring), Dennis Bergkamp (Achilles) and Martin Keown (hamstring) are still on the sidelines. Robert Pires and Giovanni van Bronckhorst are not yet ready to return from long-term injuries.
