Arsene Wenger has said that Johan Djourou's injury is not a problem for the club and expects players like Emmanuel Eboue to step up. Djourou will be forced to watch from the Arsenal Hospitality Tickets for the foreseeable future.

The 23-year-old was substituted in the first half of the Gunners’ 4-0 win over SC Neusiedl after sustaining a hamstring injury.

Emmanuel Eboue's hopes of progressing in the world cup looks very slim. The world number one ranked team took a 3-0 lead before complacency in defence allowed the Ivorian's a glimmer of hope as Chelsea's Didier Drogba scored a consolation goal.

Although the Brazilians didn't play with as much flair as they traditionally do, former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva and Felipe Melo, also a rumoured Arsenal target, provided strong cover for their back four.

According to Spanish daily Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona will look to sign a right-back as cover for Dani Alves , with Arsenal's Emmanuel Eboue on the shortlist.

Dani Alves is viewed as possibly the best right-back in the world, but Barcelona currently have no natural cover for the Brazilian, with centre-back Carles Puyol filling in when needed.

Emmanuel Eboue has sought to steer well clear of fresh rumours regarding his future at Arsenal.

The versatile Ivorian has been regularly linked with a move away from Emirates Stadium over recent years, with a switch to Italy widely touted.

Reports claim he has grown unsettled in north London and is actively seeking a fresh challenge.

He has struggled to hold down regular first-team football throughout his time with the Gunners, and that has only served to fuel the speculation.

Arsenal cult hero Emmanuel Eboue has told Goal.com that he believes Arsenal and England winger can become the best player in the country.

“If Walcott works hard, he can become the best player in England,” said Eboue. "He is very young but he is playing for his place in the England team so he must work hard. If he continues to play like he is now then he can go to the World Cup.”
