In the meantime, you can peruse David Hytner preview, should you wish.The theme of the day was unquestionably linked to star players reaching the ends of their tethers and wanting to move on but Arsène Wenger will pick his Arsenal team for the Champions League Group H tie against Shakhtar Donetsk at the Emirates Stadium tomorrow night buoyed by the knowledge that it need not always end in tears for the clubs.Wenger said that Cesc Fábregas, his captain, was "ready to play at full fitness" after recovering from the hamstring injury that has kept him on the sidelines for four and a half weeks. The manager will make the decision on whether to start him in the morning and he said "it will be whether I take a gamble or not, because Cesc has been out for a long time".Yet there is a certain comfort to the dilemma for Wenger. At various points over the summer, particularly at the very beginning before the World Cup finals in South Africa, it was unclear whether Fábregas would again wear the red of Arsenal. The midfielder had made it plain that his immediate future lay back in his native Catalonia with Barcelona and the Spanish champions were engaged in a concerted campaign to get him home.Wenger, though, refused to buckle and, in a blow against modern player power, he succeeded in retaining his talisman. Fábregas remains central to Arsenal's quest to win silverware for the first time since 2005.Champions LeagueShakhtar DonetskArsenalPaul Doyleguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
