Midfielder Ray Parlour and defender Oleg Luzhny have been added to Arsenal's growing injury list ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Southampton.

Both players picked up knocks in Sunday's 4-0 victory at Sunderland.

"Ray got a knock on his ankle and Oleg might have twisted his knee ligaments. It looks like it could threaten Oleg's game in Cardiff, though Ray should be all right," manager Arsene Wenger said today.

Parlour's presence is vital for the cup holders as midfield duo Patrick Vieira and Edu are both injured.
