Arsenal boss Wenger wary of Dortmund threat

Arsene Wenger admits that Borussia Dortmund will be tough opponents for Arsenal.

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hailed the talents of Borussia Dortmund ahead of their Champions League Group F encounter at the Signal Iduna Park tonight.

The German champions have not made the best of starts to the Bundesliga and are currently 11th, but Wenger refuses to underestimate them.

"Dortmund were the strongest team in pot four, so I was a little bit disappointed [to get them].

"Of course it is great to play against such a team, there is a lot of enthusiasm and it is very motivating to play against them.

"Dortmund have very good technical qualities, they are well organised. With the fans behind them, it will be a very attractive match.”

Wenger will be without key duo Jack Wilshere and Thomas Vermaelen for the clash, which kicks off at 7.45pm.
