Benayoun Out With Injury

Arsenal's summer loan signing Yossi Benayoun will be out for around a week after picking up a "strain" in the clubs third round tie against League Two side Shrewsbury Town on Tuesday.

The Israeli midfielder scored his first Arsenal goal in the Carling Cup tie, and announced his delight via his official Twitter account, but also delivered the bad news that he joins the Arsenal injury list, saying:
"So happy for the win yesterday and with my first goal for the club but very disappointed as I have a strain and will be out for a week or so."
Luckily for Arsenal and Wenger, Benayoun's injury is not too serious, and the 31 year-old attacking midfielder, who is owned by Chelsea, will only miss the Bolton game on Saturday and perhaps the Champions League group game against Olympiacos on Wednesday 28th.

Tomas Rosicky, Jack Wilshere, Sebastian Squillaci, Abou Diaby and Thomas Vermaelen remain injured for Arsenal. Read more about those players' injuries on Arsenal's official website here.
