Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Kieran Gibbs and Jack Wilshere are doubts for tomorrow’s clash with Burnley.

Gibbs was forced off late on during our 2-0 win away at Sunderland last weekend after picking up a hip problem.

The 25-year-old will be assessed in training this afternoon but the boss is ‘quite confident’ he’ll be passed fit to play.

However, Arsene also revealed that Wilshere has picked up a minor knee knock that’s set to keep him out of action this weekend.

The injury is described as ‘very, very short-term’ but it may force him to miss Tuesday’s Champions League clash with Anderlecht as well before returning to face Swansea next weekend.

Wenger: "It is very short term. Wilshere got a kick on his knee. I don't know if Tuesday will be too early but certainly [fit for] Swansea."
