Thierry Henry is expected to make his much-anticipated second Arsenal debut in Monday’s home FA Cup third round tie with Leeds.
Arsenal’s record scorer has agreed a short-term loan move back to the Emirates and is likely to be involved against the Whites.
Henry’s return is timely as Gervinho is away on international duty at the Africa Cup of Nations and it also gives boss Arsene Wenger the opportunity to rest main striker Robin van Persie in the tie.
Elsewhere, the Gunners are struggling for fit defenders and will also be without the suspended Johan Djourou.
The match is a repeat of last-season’s third round clash, in which Arsenal needed a replay to overcome the Championship side following a 1-1 draw at the Emirates in the first game.
