CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

Qualifying round tree, leg two

Wednesday 27 August

ARSENAL v FC TWENTE

Arsenal are expected to have influential midfielder Cesc Fabregas back in action for their Champions League qualifier against FC Twente at the Emirates Stadium tonight.

The Spanish star has been out for weeks with a hamstring injury but is set to rejoin his team mates as they face former England manager Steve McClaren's side with a 2-0 aggregate advantage.

As far as injuries go, the Gunners will be without new signing Mikael Silvestre as he is still recovering from a thigh strain, while Abou Diaby (thigh), Philippe Senderos (hamstring), Amaury Bischoff (groin), Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) and striker Eduardo (leg) are also on the injured list.

ARSENAL (from): Almunia, Sagna, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Denilson, Nasri, Adebayor, Van Persie, Fabianski, Ramsey, Wilshere, Djourou, Gibbs, Song, Bendtner, Eboue.
