Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger had admitted the club's lengthy season may finally be telling on striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Togo international has been one of The Gunners' stand-out players this term, but his form of late has been patchy.

Adebayor bagged an impressive eight goals in January alone, however, just one goal in his last eight games has coincided with a dip in form for the North Londoners.

Wenger believes a lack of service is hindering Adebayor's production in front of goal, but he also concedes that he may also be suffering from fatigue with the campaign nearing its conclusion.

With Robin van Persie fit again and Nicolas Bendtner chomping at the bit to start, Wenger has hinted Adebayor could be rested for this weekend's clash against struggling Bolton.
