Robben ready for big test after night off

14 April 2012

Arjen Robben says he is raring to go after being rested from the starting XI against Porto on Tuesday in the 2-1 Champions League defeat.

Robben came on for Damien Duff for only the last 36 minutes after Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho left him out of the starting line-up believing that a pre-season foot injury was finally catching up with the flying Dutchman.

But the player is certain to be in the starting line-up against Arsenal this Sunday and said: "I'm full of confidence."

Arsenal's defender Lauren returns after a onematch suspension but captain Patrick Vieira is still suspended. That means Cesc Fabregas and Matthieu Flamini will continue in midfield.

Freddie Ljungberg is likely to play after recovering from the migraine that kept him out of Tuesday's win over Rosenborg.
