The match at home (Barnet) to West Ham still goes ahead (although it's hard to see the point) but Tone won't be there having turned up for training today with a minor knee complaint.

He's hoping that it'll be better in time for another reserve match scheduled for Thursday (according to Arsenal.com, although their reserve fixtures page lists no game on Thursday... many thanks to Christopher Pinnell for clearing this up: Arsenal have arranged a reserve friendly for Thursday, away to Peterborough.

But it's not all bad news. Richard Wright could play that night too, having returned to full training now. And Francis Jeffers is still in line for a return in the Irons game tonight.
