Bergkamp tried to do some jogging and it became clear that he wouldn;t make it back in time for the Champs League quarter-final. "I'm gutted to miss any game whether it's in Europe or the Premiership but this is a big week so it's hard to take. It could be a few days or a few weeks before the inflammation goes down. I'll just have to wait but I'm not the most patient sort."

Meanwhile, Valencia's Argentine playmaker is in their squad and could play his first game for some time.
