Arsenal are confident midfielder Cesc Fabregas will recover from a bruised foot in time to face Villarreal in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at Highbury tomorrow.

Jose Antonio Reyes is suspended, while Freddie Ljungberg is expected to return to the squad after sitting out the Premiership win over West Brom on Saturday.

Sol Campbell is unlikely to be rushed back following surgery on his broken nose last week.

Defender Ashley Cole (ankle) continues to work on his fitness, but tomorrow's match is probably too soon for a return, while Lauren (knee) is a long-term absentee.

Provisional squad: Lehmann, Djourou, Eboue, Senderos, Toure, Flamini, Ljungberg, Song, Diaby, Gilberto, Hleb, Pires, Henry, Adebayor, van Persie, Bergkamp, Fabregas, Walcott, Almunia.
