Arsene Wenger has confirmed Alex Song will not be fit to return from injury for Arsenal's next game against West Bromwich Albion.
The midfielder's absence was felt in the UEFA Champions League
exit at the hands of Barcelona
and the weekend's FA Cup reverse at Manchester United.
Arsenal
lost Johan Djourou to a season-ending shoulder injury at Old Trafford
and were also without the influence of captain Cesc Fabregas.
Wenger admits Song's presence has been missed and he does not anticipate the Cameroon international being available for the trip to West Brom
on Saturday."I don't think it's down to one player," said the Arsenal manager.
"We would like Song back and we would like Fabregas back. We have now to cope with Djourou [being] out and he is an outstanding player.
"I don't know [when Song will be fit again]. But certainly not for Saturday."
