Arsene Wenger has said that Dennis Bergkamp will NOT be travelling to Germany for the tie with B. Dortmund. He has stated that he is "happy with his options" for players up front. Dennis has indicated that he is fit, willing and able to travel, but Wenger has decided against it. Also, ahead of the game, Sammers, the Dortmund coach is quoted as saying that his team are "looking for revenge" and "wanting to knock the 'arrogance' out of Arsenal" Apparently he was upset and some of the challenges that apparently went 'unpunished' during the first leg at Highbury.
Not a surprise, with that flying thing he has. Him coming back from the Achilles problem just compounds the issue. We miss him bad though and it seems obvious on the pitch.
We will be all the poorer for Dennis not travelling. Although I still think we should have too much for Dortmund I think this will be a grind. A 1-0 win would do!
