Both have been left out of the reserve squad for Coventry tonight, manager Arsène Wenger having faced up to the fact that neither is quite ready for action. See this AFCi page for squad list. The page does suggest that they both still have a chance of playing against Bradford, but surely it can only be a slight chance.

It did seem a bit quick to be throwing them into action seeing as they only started training again yesterday. Given that Keown and Grimandi have been sheer class in Adams' absence, and that Suker is back from suspension to partner Henry up front, it seems like a wise decision. We've really been missing Overmars on the left though, so perhaps that's going to be the surprise return on Saturday.
