Fredrik Ljungberg has set his sights on returning to action for the final two games of Arsenal's title run-in.
Wenger is without Patrick Vieira this weekend against Leeds and must assess Gilberto Silva his return from an midweek international trip with Brazil to Mexico.
The Arsenal boss is therefore relieved to find that Edu, who feared that he would be ruled out for the rest of the season with a knee injury, has made a rapid recovery.
With Sol Campbell already ruled out for the rest of the campaign through suspension, and Lauren and Pascal Cygan further injury doubts, Wenger will be pleased to hear positive news about Ljungberg too.
The Swedish international revealed that he initially thought he had broken his leg at Bolton last weekend following a clumsy challenge by Jay-Jay Okocha.
"I have had a scan and there is no break and no ligaments ruptured. I'm hoping that I can play against Southampton next Wednesday," Ljungberg told the London Evening Standard.
