Arsenal v Villarreal

First leg result: Villarreal 1-1 Arsenal
Uefa Champions League, Quarter-final second leg
Venue: Emirates Stadium Date: Wednesday, 15 April Kick-off: 1945 GMT


Marcos Senna



Villarreal will be without influential midfielder Marcos Senna for this week's Champions League return leg with Arsenal because of injury.

The Spain international, 32, limped out of Saturday's 2-0 defeat by Malaga with a hamstring problem.

It is not known how long Senna will be sidelined but the Villarreal website states he will miss Wednesday's game at the Emirates Stadium.

Senna scored Villarreal's goal as they drew the first leg 1-1 with Arsenal.

The Primera Liga side could be severely under-strength in midfield, with Santi Cazorla an absentee and wingers, Cani and Mati Fernandez, also doubtful.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have a crisis in defence with Johan Djorou joining William Gallas on the injury list after he was stretchered off with a knee problem during the 4-1 win at Wigan.
