Emmanuel Eboue is Arsenal's latest injury concern as they look to hold onto a top-four spot in the Barclays Premiership.

The 23-year-old full-back has a groin problem and has been given only a 50-50 chance of facing West Ham at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

He was substituted for the last eight minutes of last weekend's defeat to Liverpool which allowed Bolton and Tottenham to move within sight of the final Champions League place Arsenal currently hold.

The Gunners' backroom staff will give the Ivory Coast international a fitness test on Good Friday before a decision is made.

"Eboue is a doubt," confirmed manager Arsene Wenger. "He has a problem with his groin. We'll have a test on Friday and see after that."

Eboue has struggled with ankle problems this season and Wenger feels he may have rushed back to action.

"It is unbelievable," added the Frenchman.

"He was out for six weeks and then played a complete game when perhaps he had not recovered. Sometimes, that is the price that you pay; you get another injury."

Wenger, however, is likely to recall Gilberto, with the Brazil midfielder having recovered from a recent hip complaint.

With strikers Thierry Henry, Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie on the sidelines, Wenger at least has Jeremie Aliadiere returning from a foot problem.
