Injury List Lengthens

Robin van Persie and Jermaine Pennant have joined Dennis Bergkamp, Gilberto, Pascal Cygan, and Edu on the sidelines for Saturday’s game against Birmingham.
It’s a shame for Van Persie, who would’ve had a decent shot at a starting berth.
It means the same group of players who lost to Liverpool will have to pick themselves up in time to beat the Brummies.
I’d imagine the starting line-up could look something like this:
Cesc Fabregas, however, could retain his place in the side, though I’d expect him to get a rest.
With a substitutes bench that will contain one of Cesc or Flamini, Manuel Almunia, Philippe Senderos, and Justin Hoyte or Gael Clichy, a young striking substitute will be required in Van Persie’s absence. Could we see a Premiership debut for Arturo Lupoli?
Coooooome oooon yooouuuu reeeeeeeddds.
