NASRI MISSES OUT FOR ARSENAL

Nasri - misses out for Arsenal.

Arsenal will again be without midfielder Samir Nasri (knee) for the trip to Bolton.

Recent signing Mikael Silvestre remains out with a muscular problem but there were no fresh injury worries from the midweek Champions League trip to Kiev.

Tomas Rosicky (hamstring), Abou Diaby (thigh), Amaury Bischoff (groin) and striker Eduardo (leg) all remain in recovery.

Bolton record signing Johan Elmander is hoping to return to action for Bolton.

The Sweden striker, who scored on debut in the season opener against Stoke, has been out for almost a month with a hamstring injury.

Defender Matt Taylor remains on the sidelines with a broken toe but will see a consultant on Monday hoping to get the all-clear to return to training.

Gary Cahill is also missing as he completes his two-match suspension while loanee Ebi Smolarek, brought in a day before the deadline, only linked up with the squad yesterday and will be given time to settle.

Teams:

Bolton (from): Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Shittu, A O'Brien, Samuel, Gardner, Muamba, Nolan, McCann, J O'Brien, Davies, Helguson, Riga, Elmander, Hunt, Vaz Te, Cohen, Fojut, Al Habsi.

Arsenal (from) Almunia, Clichy, Toure, Gallas, Sagna, Eboue, Fabregas, Denilson, Walcott, Adebayor, van Persie, Fabianski, Song, Djourou, Vela, Bendtner, Randall.
