Djourou stays positive

JOHAN DJOUROU admits it will be “a disaster” if Arsenal fail to qualify for the last 16 of the of the Champions League, but remains confident the Gunners can deliver.

After their 2-0 defeat at Braga on Tuesday night, Arsene Wenger’s side know that only a win over Partizan Belgrade on the final night of Group H will guarantee safe passage for the 11th straight season.

The Swiss centre back is not unduly concerned by Arsenal’s chances of going through but he did suggest that missing out on the last 16 is simply inconceivable.
