LONDON -- Arsenal have defenders William Gallas, Bacary Sagna and striker Nicklas Bendtner out of squad for injuries in Saturday's league match at home against Everton, the club said on Thursday.

Gallas (hamstring), Sagna (knee) and Bendtner (ankle), injured on World Cup qualifying duty with their national teams, will probably also miss Tuesday's Champions League visit to Fenerbahce.

"Fortunately the three of them don't look to be out for a long, long time but they will be out for the weekend game and I think the game on Tuesday," said Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger.

Cesc Fabregas suffered a broken nose playing for Spain in their qualifier in Belgium on Wednesday but was able to finish the game and Wenger said he believed the Spaniard would be fit for Saturday's match at the Emirates.
