http://soccernet.espn.go.com/preview?id=65005&cc=5901 Absent from Friday's training session were Rafael van der Vaart, Jari Litmanen, Maarten Stekelenburg, Henk Timmer, Victor Sikora, Wamberto, Johnny Heitinga and John O'Brien. They are all likely to miss the trip to Highbury as well although Van der Vaart and O'Brien are expected to return to squad training on Monday.
great news for job. does anyone know if he is expected back before the next round of champions league games?
Sorry if this has already been posted, but O'Brien gets a quick mention here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/europe/2771391.stm Kind of neat. Highlights: Koeman calls this version of Ajax the best since 1995, and the author says it's a pity that O'Brien wouldn't be ready for Arsenal.
