Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he is unsure if any of Cesc Fabregas, Mathieu Flamini and Alexander Hleb will be fit to face Chelsea in Grand Slam Sunday.
Star midfielder Fabregas has been out of action since picking up a hamstring injury against Sevilla last month, while Flamini and Hleb have missed the last three games after suffering knocks at Aston Villa.
The midfield trio are back in light training, but Wenger insists they are all still doubtful for Sunday's tussle with title rivals Chelsea.
Robin van Persie could start against Chelsea after making a successful return to action against Steaua Bucharest on Wednesday.
The Dutchman has recovered from the knee injury which sidelined him for two months and he is keen to feature against Chelsea.
However, Wenger will wait on the advice of his medical staff before making a decision on Van Persie's involvement.
"At the moment, he does not have the green light medically," added Wenger.
"Once he gets that, we have to test him on the pitch with the other players and then we can make a decision."
