Robin van Persie has been given the armband, and will be the man to lead out The Arsenal for this Sunday’s Carling Cup Final.
Despite late reports stating that Cesc Fabregas could play, the young Spaniard has been ruled out for the final. Wenger said he will miss “one or two” games, but he is expected to be fit for the away leg in Barcelona.
However, Theo Walcott is a major doubt for the trip to the Nou Camp, after being ruled out for 2 to 3 weeks after picking up an ankle injury against Stoke last Wednesday.
Arsene Wenger confirmed all of this in an interview this afternoon.
