Senderos comes back for Gunners

Philippe Senderos returned to the Arsenal team for the first time since May 2008 as manager Arsene Wenger once again fielded a young side in the Carling Cup third-round clash with West Brom at the Emirates Stadium.

The Switzerland international, back following a loan spell at AC Milan, partnered veteran Mikael Silvestre, captain tonight, in central defence, while 19-year-old Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny made his debut.
