Arsenal: Pre-Milan News

Hellos and such, am feeling a bit under the weather, hope to be better tomorrow—and the same goes for all the players we have out injured for the colossal clash with AC Milan in the Champions League.

Speaking of which, The Mirror reports that we will have Almunia back in goal while Bacary Sagna who missed the game on Saturday on account of the demise of his brother will be back in contention. Our thoughts and prayers are with Bacary at this time. Sagnas return will definitely be a big boost for us. Awaiting more injury updates on the team , but there's precious else.

There is a bit more on the injury side of things, this time though its about our opponents Milan , they seem to have a bit of keeper crisis, that and more here. The latest I heard was that Kalac will travel despite nursing a hand injury. Other than that, its pretty much a full strength Milan squad, you have to beat the best to be the best and rot like that comes to mind now.

Cap'n Gallas who surprisingly escaped the wrath of the FA for his challenge on Nani , calls for each player to assume responsibility, he also compared the FA cup game and the looming Milan game, saying:

“Everyone has to assume their responsibility and to think of their mistakes.The title is a dream. But you have to fight for it. The season is still long. Manchester have earned confidence thanks to that victory.

“We have to pay attention. Milan? It will be different because we play at home. It’s up to us to keep the possession and play.”

Cescy who again talks about staying a gunner for life had this to say about the players Milan have, calling them 'Killers.' (Kaka repays the plaudits)

"Everyone talks that they are not doing well in the league, that they are not playing well," he said. "But these kind of teams can kill you in one second. They have massive players like Kaka, [Andrea] Pirlo and [Alberto] Gilardino - this kind of world-class player - and we have to be careful. Still I think we have a good chance."

.. and so do I Cescy, so do I!

The game is a 19.45 kickoff London time, which is a 01.15 kickoff India time. The game is available in India on Zee Sports, by my reckoning the rest of Asia can catch the CL games Live on the ESPNStar network.

Well there's nothing else to say! Have a good day gooners, hoping for an even better one tomorrow, laters!
