ARSENAL: Philippe Christanval joins on trial

/noticias.info/ Arsenal included two unfamiliar faces in the team for Saturday's friendly at Barnet FC.

Philippe Christanval has joined on a week's trial after he was released by Marseille at the end of June. The 26-year-old centre back won the French title during a four-year spell with Monaco.

He then joined Barcelona and his form at the Nou Camp was impressive enough to earn him six full caps for France. However, injury hampered his move to Marseille and they parted ways by mutual consent recently.

The other new boy was Vito Mannone. The 17-year-old keeper has signed for Arsenal from Italian side Atalanta.

Arsenal starting eleven against Barnet: Howard, Hoyte, Christanval, Cygan, Lauren, Reyes, Hleb, Flamini, Henry, Bergkamp, Pires. notas_de_prensa_archivo
