Arsenal defender Johan Djourou has been ruled out for the rest of the season after dislocating his shoulder in the Gunner’s FA Cup defeat by Manchester United.

The Swiss defender joins Wenger’s ever-growing injury list which includes Cesc Fabregas, Thomas Vermaelen, Theo Walcott, Alex Song, Lukasz Fabianski and Wojciech Szczesny.

And the Arsenal manager has revealed that midfielder Song, who picked up a knock in the Carling Cup final, will not feature in the Gunners’ Premier League clash at West Brom this weekend.

Wenger said: “I don’t know [when Song will be fit again]. But certainly not for Saturday.

“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.”
