Arsene Wenger has restored Alexis Sanchez to the Arsenal starting lineup for their Champions League round-of-16 clash against Bayern Munich as they seek to overturn a 5-1 deficit.

Sanchez was named among the substitutes for the Premier League defeat to Liverpool at the weekend, but Wenger denied reports the forward was involved in a training-ground row and he returns to the team for Bayern's visit to the Emirates Stadium.

Wenger had said Mesut Ozil would miss the clash through illness, but he is named among the substitutes.

Danny Welbeck was slated to start but suffered an injury in the warm-up and was replaced in the XI by Olivier Giroud.
