Arsenal boss Wenger desperate for Almunia to be fit

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger could drop goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski for tomorrow's clash with Sunderland.

The Sun says Gunners boss Arsene Wenger hopes Manuel Almunia will make an early recovery from a finger injury and play against Sunderland.

It follows Fabianski's disastrous display in the 2-1 Champions League defeat at Porto on Wednesday night.

Almunia was set to be out for two weeks but may get a pain-killing injection to play at the Emirates.

Wenger last night rated Almunia as "50-50".
