Arsene Wenger believes there will be no lasting effects from Arsenal's humiliating FA Cup defeat by title rivals Manchester United.The Frenchman - who said the state of the Old Trafford pitch on Saturday was "a disgrace" - expects his side to recover in time for the Champions League match at home to AC Milan on Wednesday.

Not only that, he claims the 4-0 drubbing was a "one-off" and will have little bearing on the Premier League title race.

Wenger, who was short on numbers due to injuries, insisted: "I am not worried about picking the players up for the Milan game. My only worry is that they will have recovered physically for it.

"It is a massive match and we have to bounce back quickly from our disappointment. We will need to be at our best.

"The players have given me so much recently but unfortunately we were not up to the level required against United. At least we did not suffer any more injuries, so we might be able to find 16 players to face Milan."
