Arsenal's Danny Welbeck not expected to be fit for FA Cup final

Arsenal is not expecting to have the services of versatile attacker Danny Welbeck for Saturday's FA Cup final against Aston Villa.

Manager Arsene Wenger, speaking after his club's 4-1 victory over West Brom in their Premier League season finale on Sunday, was asked if the 24-year-old Englishman will be fit for trip to Wembley.

It doesn't sound promising.

"Welbeck will be short because he has not practised yet," said Wenger, who has been without the services of the lanky forward since he sustained a knee injury on April 18.
