Robin van Persie has been included in the Arsenal squad ahead of Tuesday's Champions League quarter-final second leg against Liverpool.

The Holland striker has been struggling with a thigh muscle problem and missed the 1-1 Premier League draw at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday.

Manager Arsene Wenger rested several key men, and is likely to recall leading scorer Emmanuel Adebayor, Alexander Hleb, Gael Clichy and Philippe Senderos to the starting line-up at Anfield.

Midfielder Abou Diaby is available as his suspension is only domestic, but full-back Bacary Sagna (ankle) and Tomas Rosicky (hamstring) remain sidelined.

Arsenal (from): Almunia, Toure, Gallas, Senderos, Clichy, Eboue, Flamini, Fabregas, Hleb, Diaby, Walcott, Adebayor, Lehmann, Song, Gilberto, J Hoyte, Bendtner, Denilson, Traore, van Persie.
