Flop Fabianski fears the axe

Manuel Almunia could replace Arsenal blunder keeper Lukasz Fabianski tomorrow.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger hopes Almunia will make an early recovery from a finger injury and play against Sunderland.

It follows Fabianski's disastrous display in the 2-1 Champions League defeat at Porto on Wednesday night.  Almunia was set to be out for two weeks but may get a pain-killing injection to play at the Emirates.

Wenger last night rated Almunia as "50-50" and revealed Abou Diaby has a medial ligament injury.  He said: "He came in and had pain in his knee."
