Wenger says duo could miss final
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said Thierry Henry and Jose Reyes are both doubts for the FA Cup final after they missed the 2-1 loss to Birmingham.

Henry only returned from a groin injury last week while Reyes picked up a knock in training.

"It's very difficult to assess Thierry. He had a slight reaction on Wednesday and I'll see what the position is on Wednesday or Thursday," Wenger said.

"Reyes got a kick in training yesterday so we have to assess him too."

Lauren was left out with food poisoning but Wenger said he could have played, while Robert Pires was rested.

Emile Heskey ended the Gunners' 12-match unbeaten league run with a last-minute winner.

Wenger added: "It was an end-of-season game and certainly we had one eye already on Saturday and lost too many 50-50 balls to really make the difference.

"I felt the most important thing was that we had a good run-out with no injuries and the fact we got caught in the end by taking things a little bit easy will help us to focus on Saturday.

"Having just won 7-0, the fact we lost will improve our defensive performance because we got caught out by two easy goals."
