Manuel Almunia set to return for Arsenal

Arsene Wenger is set to axe Jens Lehmann after Arsenal's FA Cup mauling at Manchester United.

Arsenal boss Wenger has been boosted by the return to fitness of Manuel Almunia after illness and the Spanish keeper is ready to come straight back to face AC Milan in the Champions League tomorrow night.

French defender Bacary Sagna, who missed the defeat at Old Trafford because of a family bereavement, also trained yesterday and will face AC Milan.

However, the big injury doubt is left-back Gael Clichy, who was on the bench at Old Trafford but is struggling to be ready to face AC Milan.
