I'll be fit for Champions League - Pires

Arsenal midfielder Robert Pires has declared himself fit to face Bayern Munich in their crucial Champions League return leg at Highbury on Wednesday night.

Arsenal are 3-1 down from the opening leg in Germany and manager Arsene Wenger feared he would be without the France star when he was carried off on a stretcher with an ankle injury following a tackle by Southampton’s David Prutton during the 1-1 Premiership draw nine days ago.
