Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the Gunners will welcome talismanic midfielder Cesc Fabregas back to the line-up when they take on West Ham United on Saturday.
Fabregas has been out since the win over Burnley on March 6 because of a hamstring injury, missing the wins over Porto and Hull.
Tomas Rosicky and Alex Song will also return to the squad, although there is still no place for William Gallas.
The French defenders' calf injury continues to keep him sidelined, much to his manager's frustration.
"Cesc and Tomas have a final test tomorrow morning," Wenger told the Gunners' official website.
"They should be available for Saturday.
"From the last game [Hull] we don't lose anybody. So normally we should have Fabregas, Carlos Vela and Rosicky back. Plus of course we have Song coming back from suspension.
"However William Gallas will not be available this week or at Birmingham. It [his injury] is going on and on. It is a concern.
"It is an endless calf strain and so we need Sol Campbell and Mikael Silvestre to be highly ready to help us out."
