Edu and Pennant are also on their way back, albeit Arsene wenger has said that the Brazilian is still not ready to play on Sunday.
Jose Reyes will miss the game on Boxing Day, but his injury isn't thought to be serious.
Ashley Cole will be suspended for the game after picking up his fifth yellow at Fratton Park, therefore the more-than-capable Gael Clichy will deputise. Cole is also scheduled to begin contract talks with the club which will hopefully quell all of the rumours that he's going to Madrid.
