Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named his squad for the Gunners tour of Asia, and the Frenchman has left behind goalkeeper Manuel Almunia and striker Nicklas Bendtner fuelling speculation the pair will leave the club this summer.
As announced yesterday, captain Cesc Fabregas picked up a very convenient hamstring injury and has remained in London to ‘undergo treatment’, also known as ‘push through his transfer to Barcelona’. Emmanuel Eboue also misses out with an injury, although Samir Nasri does make the trip despite his current contract dispute and Japanese starlet Ryo Miyaichi is also included.
The full squad which is due to leave tomorrow:
- Wojciech Szczesny
- Vito Mannone
