Van Persie back from Milan tie
Arsenal have included striker Robin van Persie in the squad which travelled to Italy for tomorrow’s Champions League clash against AC Milan.
The Dutchman has endured an injury-plagued campaign, and has not featured since January 9, but manager Arsene Wenger is happy Van Persie has sufficiently recovered from a thigh problem to be in contention.
Winger Emmanuel Eboue – who can play in Europe despite his domestic ban – was also on the plane as part of the 18-man squad which left Luton Airport this afternoon. However, centre-back Kolo Toure (knee) and midfielder Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) were not match fit and did not travel.
Alex Song (knee) and Johan Djourou (groin) remain sidelined, while striker Eduardo will miss the rest of the campaign after suffering a broken leg.
Team (from): Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Senderos, Clichy, Hleb, Fabregas, Flamini, Eboue, Adebayor, Walcott, Lehmann, Gilberto, Diaby, Denilson, Bendtner, J Hoyte, Van Persie.
