Manuel Almunia could be included in Arsenal's squad for Sunday's FA Cup fourth round tie with Huddersfield.
The Spanish goalkeeper has been sidelined with elbow and ankle problems since the 3-2 defeat by West Brom last September.
Defender Sebastien Squillaci and midfielder Abou Diaby have recovered from respective hamstring and calf problems and will take their places in the squad.
Winger Tomas Rosicky could also be back after being laid low by sickness while right-back Bacary Sagna may be ready to face Huddersfield after receiving a blow to the head against Ipswich on Tuesday night.
"Squillaci and Diaby will be in a squad," manager Arsene Wenger told Arsenal TV Online.
"The only uncertainty I have is Rosicky. I don't know if he'll be fit or not. He was really sick. Almunia has a chance, Lukasz Fabianski no and with Thomas Vermaelen we need to be patient.
"Sagna is as good as he can be. Yesterday he was at home and he still had a little bit of a headache. All the examinations made at the hospital were clean.
"He should be available for Sunday. If not Sunday then on Tuesday (against Everton)."
Arsenal striker Benik Afobe is on loan at Huddersfield but is not eligible to play at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
