Udinese coach Guidolin insists Arsenal not weakened by Cesc sale

Udinese boss Francesco Guidolin does not expect Arsenal to be any weaker after the sale of Cesc Fabregas.

Udinese face the Gunners this week in a Champions League qualifier.

Guidolin said: "This will not change much for us. Any Arsenal team will be full of quality.

"Yes, they will be without some very important players, but there are also others who are just as good.

"We know it is going to be difficult, but we will try."

Guidolin added: "I consider Arsenal one of the best teams and they have a lot of great players. I do not know if it is a good moment to play them, it depends what we can do tomorrow.

"I just have to look at our team, and cannot worry about the situation of Arsenal. I know they can cause problems to any team in the world.

"Arsene Wenger has achieved fantastic results, they are always in the Champions League and have reached the top four of the English Premier League, which is not easy at all."
