Champions League - Teams news: Fab returns
Arsenal take on Steve McClaren's FC Twente while Liverpool face a battle against Standard Liege in tonight's Champions League third qualifying round second leg ties.
Arsenal v Twente (Agg. 2-0)
Cesc Fabregas is expected to feature should he be declared fit following a hamstring injury, but new signing Mikael Silvestre will not make his debut as the former Manchester United defender is struggling with a thigh muscle strain. Abou Diaby (thigh), Amaury Bischoff (groin), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and striker Eduardo (leg) remain out.
Steve McClaren's Twente will be without the suspended Blaise N'Kufo and injured striker Marko Arnautovic. The visitors will also be without former Middlesbrough midfielder Luke Wilkshire who was sold to Dynamo Moscow earlier in the week.
Liverpool v Standard Liege (Agg. 0-0)
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has no new injury concerns ahead of the game at Anfield. Sami Hyypia remains sidelined with a hamstring problem while Javier Mascherano and Lucas Leiva have only just returned from Olympic duty and are unlikely to feature.
Liege welcome back former Newcastle defender Oguchi Onyewu after the USA stopper missed the first leg through suspension and striker Milan Jovanovic is also available again. |
