Arsenal defender Philippe Senderos misses the visit of Wigan after picking up a ban

Abou Diaby and Julio Baptista are back in the Arsenal squad for the Barclays Premiership clash against Wigan on Sunday.

Alexander Hleb, William Gallas, Freddie Ljungberg and Emmanuel Eboue remain out through injury for the match at the Emirates Stadium.

Philippe Senderos is suspended but Johan Djourou can deputise at centre-back for boss Arsene Wenger.

Emile Heskey and Leighton Baines are fit and available again for Wigan.

Striker Heskey and left-back Baines have both recovered from calf injuries which forced them out of last week's 1-0 victory over Portsmouth at the JJB Stadium last Saturday.

Goalkeeper Chris Kirkland will also play, despite withdrawing from the England squad in midweek with a shoulder problem.

Arsenal squad (provisional): Lehmann, Almunia, Diaby, Baptista, Fabregas, Toure, Djourou, Rosicky, Henry, Denilson, Flamini, Gilberto, Clichy, Adebayor, Aliadiere, Hoyte, Walcott, Traore.

Wigan Athletic squad (provisional): Kirkland, Jackson, Kilbane, McCulloch, Boyce, Skoko, Johansson, Landzaat, Baines, Granqvist, Haestad, Valencia, Folan, Unsworth, Taylor, Cywka, Aghahowa, Heskey, Baines, Pollitt.
