Sagna sidelined for Gunners

Bolton v Arsenal March 28 2008

Arsenal will be without full-back Bacary Sagna (ankle) for the Premier League trip to Bolton.

Emmanuel Eboue could slot into defence, which would allow England squad man Theo Walcott another chance to impress down the right wing.

Midfielder Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) also remains sidelined, while striker Eduardo da Silva is out for the season with a broken leg.

Bolton will be missing skipper Kevin Nolan through suspension.

Nolan picking up his 10th booking of the season during last weekend's goalless home draw against Manchester City and begins a two-match ban.

Jamaica international defender Ricardo Gardner will be missing for at least a month after being carried off on a stretcher against Sven-Goran Eriksson's men with a broken rib.

He joins goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen (back) on the sidelines but midfielder Ivan Campo will feature following his apology to boss Gary Megson for storming down the tunnel after being substituted against City.

Bolton: Al Habsi, Davies, Taylor, Diouf, Campo, A O'Brien, McCann, Steinsson, Hunt, Samuel, Cahill, Giannakopoulos, Helguson, J O'Brien, Rasiak, Cohen, Walker.
