Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he wishes Andrey Arshavin wasn't Cup-tied from tonight's Champions League tie with Villarreal.
"If you ask me would I like Arshavin to be with us then I would say yes," admitted Wenger. "But when I bought him I knew he would not be available, so I cannot complain about that.
"The advantage it has is that at least we'll have one fresh player for Saturday [against Chelsea in the FA Cup Semi-Final]."
