Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits Robin van Persie is still some weeks away from a return.
Van Persie will need more time to recover after picking up a thigh problem during the Carling Cup semi-final first leg against Tottenham.
"Compared to last week, we have Robin van Persie who is out for a few weeks," Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
"I believe Tomas Rosicky will be okay to come back - but Johan Djourou is out as well. He has had an inflammation of his groin and in the next two weeks he will not be capable to play."
Dutchman van Persie, 24, has endured an injury-plagued season, suffering a knee problem earlier in the campaign, managing only 14 appearances, but netting seven goals.
