Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger seems to be prepared to “suffer” on account of the African Nations Cup next month.
The Gunners will be without Kolo Toure, Emmanuel Eboue and possibly Alex Song, but Wenger is not keen to compensate by bringing in new players during next month’s transfer window.
The Frenchman admitted that his side, who are currently leading the Premiership, will be short particularly in defence despite Johan Djourou being recalled from his loan spell to Birmingham City.
He said: "Kolo Toure goes off to the African Nations Cup shortly and we may lose Alex Song for it as well.
"Even with Johan Djourou returning from Birmingham we would then be left with three specialist centre-backs.
"If I signed another one we'd have too many after the African Nations. Sometimes you just have to suffer during the tournament and let your players play."
