SAGNA TO MISS HULL-CITY TIE

Arsenal defender Bacary Sagna will miss Wednesday night's Premier League clash with Hull City at the Emirates Stadium with a hamstring injury.

Sagna is expected to be out for one
match with Carl Jenkinson set to replace the French full-back as Arsenal seek to increase their lead at the top of the table.
"I believe we will lose Sagna who has a slight hamstring problem and he should be out for tomorrow's game,"manager Arsene Wenger said.

"You expect when you play so many
games with that much intensity that you'll lose one or two players.
"We have so many games that I always knew I'd have to make changes. Full-back is a demanding position."

Lukas Podolski is expected to return to training this week having recovered from his own hamstring injury with the trip to Manchester City on December 14 the earliest possible date for the German
forward's return.

"Lukas Podolski should be back in normal training after the Hull game," Wenger said.
"He will then be available but he lacks is match fitness. It will take at least a week with normal training to consider him fit for the squad."
