ARSENAL MIDFIELDER MATHIEU FLAMINI WILL
MISS THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE CLASH AGAINST
BORUSSIA DORTMUND, MANAGER ARSENE
WENGER HAS CONFIRMED.The 29-year-old returned to Arsenal this summer
after five seasons with AC Milan and he has been one
of the unsung heroes in the middle of the park as the
Gunners sit pretty on top of the Premier League
table.
With all the plaudits going to fellow midfielders
Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil, Flamini has been
effectively shielding the back four so that the
offensive players can do their job of scoring goals.
However, in what will be a massive blow to Wenger,
the combative midfielder has been ruled out of the
all-important Champions League encounter against
Borussia Dortmund, last season's runners-up to
Bayern Munich.
According to Sky Sports, Wenger has confirmed that
Flamini will sit out the Dortmund match. He said,
"Flamini is doing well, has practiced normally, but we
will not play him tomorrow."
He added, "There is a five days (concussion) rule that
we will respect, not to take any chance. It was a
concussion and the doctor advised us not to play
him. He will be okay for the weekend. I'll leave myself
24 hours until tomorrow afternoon to decide the
team."
