FC Neusiedl 0 Arsenal 4: Arsene Wenger looks short at back as Johan Djourou limps off during friendly win

Arsene Wenger’s defensive problems worsened as Johan Djourou limped off in his side’s easy win.

The Swiss centre back lasted just half an hour of the friendly in Austria. And with William Gallas, Sol Campbell and Mikael Silvestre having left this summer, Wenger is desperately short at the back.

Arsenal face AC Milan and Celtic in this weekend’s Emirates Cup, and if Djourou is absent, there will be only Thomas Vermaelen and Laurent Koscielny.

In better news, Theo Walcott bounced back after his World Cup snub, smashing the club’s first home from close range.

Jay Emmanuel-Thomas netted a second and new signing Marouane Chamakh scored a penalty five minutes after coming on as a substitute, before Carlos Vela made it 4-0 with a clever chip.
