Arsenal's Arshavin leaning on Zenit staff to fix leg injury

Arsenal ace Andrey Arshavin is leaning on the medical staff of former club Zenit St Petersburg this week to sort out his leg injury.

Arshavin was forced off in their defeat to Manchester United and told his website, arshavin.eu: "I started the game with an injury. My leg has been troubling me for a while, but if I'm playing, I must keep playing.

"It's great that our national team will play in St Petersburg. My hopes are with Zenit's medical staff, who I believe will help me recover for Wales, even if I'll have to miss Lichtenstein."
