Kolo Toure has been ruled out of Arsenal's Champions League game at Fenerbahce after injuring his shoulder in the win over Everton.

Samir Nasri, Nicklas Bendtner and Johan Djourou should recover from knocks in time to make the game.

Arsenal are without captain William Gallas and full-back Bacary Sagna.

Fenerbahce, who needed an injury-time winner to beat Turkish strugglers Kocaelispor at the weekend, could be without the injured Gokhan Gonul.

They are likely to with start with Spain striker Daniel Guiza up front on his own and Semih Senturk in a supporting role.

Fenerbahce are struggling domestically, lying 10th in the table after their narrow win at the weekend and having lost four of their seven matches this season.

They are also bottom of Champions League Group G with one point from two matches.

Manager Luis Aragones, who took over after winning Euro 2008 with Spain, is already fighting to save his job.

"We are going to play possibly the best team in the group," said the Spaniard. "That is why our fans have to build a good platform for us."

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger knows their task will be made easier if they can silence the Turkish side's fans in Istanbul.

"I have been involved in many games in Turkey. What is important is that you always have on the pitch the potential to quieten the supporters," said the Frenchman.

"That is down to how well you play and how much personality you show, and this is down to us - so I do not think it will be a problem."

Arsenal have yet to hit top form this season, suffering surprise defeats to Hull at home and Fulham away.

But a win in Istanbul would be a huge step towards reaching the knock-out stages for Wenger's side.

"We would like to take advantage of the fact that Fenerbahce are not at their best at the moment and get the points as quickly as possible," he added.

Arsenal (from): Almunia, Song, Silvestre, Clichy, Eboue, Fabregas, Denilson, Nasri, Diaby, Walcott, Van Persie, Adebayor, Fabianski, Vela, Ramsey, Gibbs, Hoyte, Bendtner, Djourou.
