Team News: Yaya Sanogo handed start against Borussia Dortmund

Sanogo handed start against Dortmund

Arsenal striker Yaya Sanogo will lead the line for the Gunners in their Champions League clash against Borussia Dortmund this evening.

The Frenchman replaces the injured Danny Welbeck from Arsene Wenger's team that lost 2-1 to Manchester United on Saturday, while Olivier Giroud is unavailable after not being named in the club's 25-man squad.

Santi Cazorla replaces Jack Wilshere in the lineup as he is also out due to injury, and an injury to Wojciech Szczesny has forced Wenger to hand a start to Damian Martinez at the Emirates Stadium.

Dortmund boss Jurgen Klopp has named a strong starting lineup as his side looked to improve on their recent shaky form, which hasn't affected them in the Champions League this season.

Ciro Immobile starts up front for the Bundesliga side, with support on the flanks from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Kevin Grosskreutz.

Arsenal: Martinez, Chambers, Mertesacker, Monreal, Gibbs, Arteta, Ramsey, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Alexis, Cazorla, Sanogo Subs: Huddart, Koscielny, Bellerin, Flamini, Rosicky, Campbell, Podolski

Borussia Dortmund: Weidenfeller, Piszczek, Subotic, Ginter, Schmelzer, Gundogan, Bender, Grosskreutz, Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan, Immobile Subs: Langerak, Durm, Hornschuh, Kehl, Jojic, Kagawa, Ramos
