Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has revealed that Cesc Fabregas is highly unlikely be available for the Gunners' trip to Hull City this weekend, unless a "miracle' takes place.
The Catalan's hamstring injury - picked up against Burnley - has not recovered sufficiently to allow him to play, with his manager rating his chances of making the game very low.
"His chances of playing are 0.5 per cent - unless a miracle happens, he will not play," Wenger said, according to Press Association Sport.
"That means we will be very short for Saturday. We will assess him today [Thursday]. He is starting to run now but we think it would a gamble to play him on Saturday."
There are also minor doubts about the fitness of defenders Bacary Sagna and Sol Campbell.
"Apart from him, we have an uncertainty with Sagna on his ankle. We also have a problem with Sol Campbell and how he will recover," Wenger added.
"He finished the Porto game with cramp. These are ‘doubts' not ‘big doubts'. But we have to refresh the squad a little so we will see.
"We have a little doubt about [Tomas] Rosicky, but we will check that tomorrow morning. Nobody else is back, but we will lose [Alex] Song, because he is suspended."
Wenger also revealed that William Gallas was likely to be out for a while yet after his calf injury had worsened.
The manager will soon discover just precisely how long the centre-back is expected to be unavailable for.
"I don't know [about William]," Wenger conceded. "Wednesday was a day of rest and recovery for the players so we have to deeply examine everything to see where we go."
