Arsene Wenger worried about San Siro pitch

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has raised concerns over the state of the pitch at the San Siro ahead of his side's Champions League tie with AC Milan on Wednesday.

Wenger will be looking to take a good scoreline back to London for the second leg, but hinted that he doesn't think the pitch is necessarily ready for the game yet.

"I am a bit worried about the quality of the pitch. It doesn't look exceptional. Hopefully tomorrow it will be better," said the Frenchman.

"It has been relaid down the flanks very recently and you know what it is like when you have just laid a pitch like that.

"It takes time to settle and become flat. At the moment, it isn't."

Domestically, Arsenal currently sit fourth in the Premier League, whereas Milan find themselves top of Serie A.
