Wenger: we must be fearless

ARSENE WENGER has called on his battle-weary Arsenal side to show no fear when they head into the Nou Camp tonight aiming to upset the odds and knock holders Barcelona out of the Champions League.

The Gunners’ suffered a setback yesterday after the news Cameroon international Alex Song – who had been in line to drop back into defence as veteran Sol Campbell struggles to regain full match fitness – was out with a knee injury.

Arsenal were already missing captain Cesc Fabregas, who suffered a cracked bone in his leg when winning the late penalty which levelled the tie at 2-2, as well as centre-back William Gallas and Russian playmaker Andrey Arshavin.
