Arsenal omit nine players for Olympiakos trip

Arsene Wenger has opted to leave nine of his senior players behind for tomorrow's Champions League encounter with Greek side Olympiakos.

The English trio of Jack Wilshere, Theo Walcott and Kieran Gibbs have not been included, while the Spanish duo of Mikel Arteta and Santi Cazorla will also sit out the clash.

Per Mertesacker, Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Vito Mannone will also not be part of the travelling party.

The Gunners must win and hope that Montpellier defeat Schalke 04 in order to finish top of their group.
