BARCELONA skipper Carles Puyol is out of tomorrow's clash with Arsenal. The World Cup-winning centre-half has failed to recover from a tendinitis problem in his left knee. It means Frenchman Eric Abidal, 31, will now be alongside former Man- chester United centre-back Gerard Pique at the heart of Pep Guardiola's defence. And Arsenal will look to the likes of Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie to expose Abidal's glaring lack of pace. Copy'd from theSUN so you know its factual

Puyol is a huge loss to Barca. Never been a big fan of Abidal personally but Puyol is their star defender, regardless. If this is true, it is very good news for Arsenal.
