Arsene Wenger revealed that the starting line up from last nights crushing 8-1 defeat of Schwadorf will be the team to face Dinamo Zagreb in the 3rd round Champions League qualifier next week.
A starting eleven of Manuel Almunia, Manu Eboue, Justin Hoyte, Kolo Toure, Johan Djourou, Cesc Fabregas, Jose Reyes, Mathieu Flamini, Gilberto, Manu Adebayor & Robin van Persie each played the first 45 minutes in Austria and steered the team to a 4-0 halftime lead without breaking sweat.
Wenger believes, barring injuries, this is the eleven who will start the important first leg tie.
'The team who played tonight will probably be the team we use for the Champions League qualifiers because Henry and Lehmann won't be back in time.'
Wenger also revealed that Walcott should be fit for the start of the season, but he's not sure about the Champions League clash.
'Theo should be okay in two more weeks' time, although I don't know if he'll be ready for the European tie.'
