Arsenal midfielder Freddie Ljungberg is a major doubt for both next month's Champions League qualifier and the start of the new Premiership season.So Rosicky replaces Pires on the left, Fabergas and Silva in the middle... does Hleb start on the right? Neal, you've probably got a better feel for this than I do.
The Sweden midfielder has been struggling with an ankle problem, which manager Arsene Wenger feels may not even clear up in time for the 29-year-old to feature against Aston Villa at the Emirates Stadium on August 19.

Hleb seemed to be the replacement for Freddie towards the end of last year but it didn't work particularly well when he was in there. I wouldn't be shocked to see young Walcott finally get his chance in place of Freddie on the right. At the very least, he'll get a chance to make an impression as a substitute.
