ARSENE WENGER has been hit by fresh injury blows as Arsenal chase the Premier League title.

Samir Nasri and Aaron Ramsey were crocked in training before Sunday's 2-0 league win over Bolton and will miss the return game at Emirates Stadium on Wednesday.
Gunners boss Wenger is now without NINE first-teamers and expects striker Robin van Persie and Johan Djourou to be out for the rest of the season.
Van Persie has an ankle injury and Djourou has a knee problem.
Wenger said: "Nasri's injury is what I call a '21-day injury'. It is a clean hamstring injury.
"Ramsey's absence will be the same but it is not a hamstring injury, it is a thigh."
Left-back Kieran Gibbs is still out with a broken foot and midfielder Jack Wilshere is carrying a minor hamstring problem.
But Wenger is hopeful that Denilson (abdomen) and Theo Walcott (rib) could be back for the Bolton game and that Nicklas Bendtner could soon return after a hernia operation.
He added: "We have a little chance to get Denilson and Theo Walcott back for Wednesday and to get Nicklas Bendtner back in 10 days, maybe."

Arsène Wenger has described the loss of Kieran Gibbs for the rest of the season as “sad news”.

This morning it was revealed that the left back needed another operation on the metatarsal he fractured against Standard Liege on November 24. As a result he will sit out the remainder of the campaign.

“That is sad news because I rate him highly,” Wenger told TV Online. “I had hoped that the first surgery would be successful.

“It wasn’t. The damage done on the bone was too much.

"He now needs a little bone transplant and that takes him out for the season.”
