The Frenchman watching from the Directors Box because of his touchline ban, saw Gibbs replace by Djourou at half time after the English man suffered a hamstring injury.
But the Swiss international himself was replaced nine minutes after coming on, with a suspected hamstring injury also.
Arsenal took the lead after four minutes. Theo Walcott putting the Gunners ahead from close range.
The Gunners took a second half battering but ended the night with a clean sheet. Wojciech Szczesny making a number of fine saves.
Arsenal blooded youngsters Carl Jenkinson and Emmanuel Frimpong in the second half.
Theo Walcott should have finished off the match for the Arsenal but for a fine finger tip save by the Udinese keeper.
