Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger accepts Gilberto Silva is frustrated with his bench role.

After victory over Sunderland, Wenger said: "I have a strong relationship with Gilberto, I spoke with him about that, I have a huge respect for him, you know? At the moment it is frustrating for him - incidentally it is his birthday today. He is an important player in the group, he is an important player in the team. As I said, it is a selection problem at the moment but he will come back into the side, I don't worry about that."
