Wenger won't go with Arsenal kids against Olympiakos

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger won't play the kids against Olympiacos.

The Gunners have already qualified as group winners.

So boss Wenger will rest attacking players like Theo Walcott, Robin van Persie and Aaron Ramsey, who he believes are showing signs of fatigue.

Young hopefuls like Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Francis Coquelin and Emmanuel Frimpong will get a chance.

But Wenger wants to avoid an embarrassing defeat. So he will assess the fitness of defenders Thomas Vermaelen, Per Mertersacker and Andre Santos before deciding if they will play.
