Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has a defensive injury conundrum to contend with ahead of tomorrow's FA Cup final as Martin Keown became the latest addition to his fitness problems.

Wenger, who is already without Sol Campbell and Pascal Cygan, as well as Patrick Vieira and Francis Jeffers, will give Keown a test on a thigh problem tomorrow morning.

He does need Keown to be fit as fellow defenders Oleg Luzhny and Lauren are also doubtful, with Kolo Toure and Igors Stepanovs on standby.

Wenger does have David Seaman and Ray Parlour available, and Sylvain Wiltord has recovered from a stomach virus, but Jermaine Pennant is cup-tied.
