    Wenger happy to have Eduardo back

    Standard Liege captain Steven Defour broke his right foot in a league game at the weekend and is likely to be out of the whole group stage.

    Midfielder Wilfried Dalmat and striker Igor de Camargo are injury doubts, and Alex Witsel is short of match practice because of an eight-game domestic ban.

    Arsenal's squad includes Eduardo, after his two-match was overturned.

    Manuel Almunia has a chest infection so there will be a Champions League debut for Vito Mannone or Wojciech Szczesny.

    "From Saturday we lost Robin van Persie with a knee problem but it is a question of days for him (until he is fit)," Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger told the club website.

    Theo Walcott, Denilson (back) and Robin van Persie (knee) are also rested for the trip to Belgium, so 18-year-old striker Sanchez Watt could be in line for his debut.

    Samir Nasri (leg), Andrey Arshavin (groin), Lukasz Fabianski, Johan Djourou (both knee) and Carlos Vela (ankle) were all ruled out of the match already.

    Arsenal (from): Mannone, Szczesny, Sagna, Clichy, Gallas, Vermaelen, Silvestre, Gibbs, Eboue, Song, Fabregas, Diaby, Ramsey, Rosicky, Wilshere, Bendtner, Eduardo, Watt.
