Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has named Tomas Rosicky in his starting lineup for his side's Champions League clash against Napoli.

The Czech international has recovered from his hamstring injury and takes his place in midfield for the Group F encounter at the Emirates Stadium.

This means that Jack Wilshere drops to the bench, while Olivier Giroud continues to lead the Gunners' attack.

Meanwhile, Napoli are without striker Gonzalo Higuain this evening. The Argentina international has failed to recover from his injury in time. Goran Pandev takes his place in the lineup.
