Ashley Cole is still struggling to recover from illness in time for Arsenal's Champions League tie at Bayern Munich tomorrow night.

Cole returned to training yesterday after missing two games due to a virus but is still not back at his best and his fitness will be decided upon tomorrow.

Boss Arsene Wenger revealed: "Ashley is travelling but he is still not great. I will make a decision tomorrow.

"He has been in bed for a week. He was a bit flat in training yesterday and although he was a bit better today, he is still a bit short in his fitness."
