Arsenal fear over Campbell

Arsene Wenger is concerned that Sol Campbell's ankle injury is taking longer than anticipated to clear.

The England defender will have an injection of anti-inflammatory drugs tomorrow to disperse the fluid around the joint.

Campbell is out for at least the next three weeks and has not played since the 4-2 defeat by Manchester United on 1 February.

Wenger said: "Sol's ankle is still swollen. I am concerned and I have made up my mind that I will not consider him at all because he will not play in the next weeks.

"I would like him to be here but we have to be positive and we have to deal with it."

Campbell will certainly miss the crunch Champions League return match with Bayern Munich in a fortnight where Arsenal will have to overturn a 3-1 deficit.
