Arsenal trio to miss two games

LONDON, Oct 12 - Arsenal will be without Freddie Ljungberg, Emmanuel Eboue
and Julio Baptista for their next two games, manager Arsene Wenger said on
Thursday. The trio will miss Saturday's Premier League game against Watford and
Tuesday's Champions League trip to Moscow to face CSKA.
Midfielder Ljungberg suffered a calf injury playing for Sweden against Spain
on Saturday. Defender Eboue hurt his knee while on international duty for Ivory
Coast while Brazilian striker Baptista hurt his hamstring in training.
"Unfortunately when you have so many players away you can have some bad
news," Wenger told the club's Web site.
Wenger said defenders Gael Clichy and Philippe Senderos were making good
progress as they recovered from injury but were unlikely to make an imminent
return.
