Volz in line for Arsenal start

ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger is ready to throw teenage rookie Moritz Volz into the Champions League deep end tonight if his side’s defensive injury crisis does not ease.

Volz, 19, has previously started just one first-team game. That was against Ipswich Town in the Worthington Cup two year's ago.

However, injuries to Oleg Luzhny, Lauren and Ray Parlour as well as a suspension to Kolo Toure mean that the German was an emergency call-up to the squad for tomorrow's tie at Roma at the start of the second group stage.
