Arsenal boss Wenger: This is the chance for Campbell

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is ready to turn to Sol Campbell for tonight's Champions League tie with Porto.

The 35-year-old has been used only twice since securing a shock return to the club he captained to so much success alongside the likes of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira.

Wenger believes former England international Campbell still has plenty left to offer.

"Sol's experience can be important tomorrow," said the Arsenal manager.

"For a central defender, it is a bit special [to still be playing at 35] but, as long as you are hungry to work hard to keep yourself fit and you are not bothered by injuries, then a central defender can play three or four years longer than a striker."
