Fabregas to captain Gunners on Gallas return

William Gallas will return to the Arsenal squad for tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Dynamo Kiev at Emirates Stadium, but has been replaced captain by Cesc Fabregas.

The controversial defender was axed from the trip to Manchester City on Saturday, which Arsene Wenger’s men lost 3-0 as their Barclays Premier League title hopes were dealt another blow, after publicly making critical remarks about the team and questioning their fighting spirit.
