  Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has injury concerns over Kolo Toure after the defender was ruled out of Ivory Coast's final group match in the African Nations Cup.
  
  The Gunners skipper limped out of his side's 4-1 win over Benin on Friday and officials have confirmed that he will not be able to face Mali on Tuesday due to a groin injury.
  
  Reports in Africa have suggested Toure has suffered a muscle tear, although it is not yet known how severe the problem is.
  
  However, as Ivory Coast have already sealed top spot in their pool, Toure will not be required again until their quarter-final clash on February 3.

  I still hope Arsene will be willing to spend big on a quality defender.
  
  I really wun mind a Vincent Kompany/Michah Richards/Sergio Ramos.
  
  We just need a solid Defender.

  but wenger must also think into big pictures. already there r two central defenders like gallas n toure.

  senderos sometime quite in doubt becos he often fall into opponents' off-side trap.

  n wat happen if gallas injure or suspend? who is going to replace him now dat toure is unavailable?
