Duo near Gunners return

Arsenal pair Sol Campbell and Jose Antonio Reyes could return against Portsmouth.

Arsenal pair Sol Campbell and Jose Antonio Reyes could return for The Gunners against Portsmouth.

Campbell has not featured since early February while Spanish winger Reyes has not played since hobbling off in the club's clash against Real Madrid at Highbury.

Wenger remains unsure whether either of the two will turn out against Harry Redknapp's side, but has conceded they are close to making the clash.

"We have the usual injuries," said Wenger. "But we could have Campbell and Reyes back.

"I don't know yet whether they will play on Saturday or not but they are very close.

"Sol did a conscientious job [in the reserves].

"His movement was better, he is 90 percent there to compete for a place in the team."
