Wenger: It will be good for Eboue to play away from home

Manager Arsène Wenger has said that defender Emmanuel Eboue will recover better from the events of the weekend when he plays away from home today.

The Ivory Coast international was subject to booing from the Arsenal crowd and it seemed to affect him when he walked off the pitch when he was substituted.

Wenger said: "He has reacted well. He was down for 48 hours but yesterday and today he was alright.

"All his friends called him up on Sunday to cheer him up. That was the main help.

"And I think it is better and easier for him to be away than to be at the Emirates Stadium, maybe more in his head than anything else.

"Porto is a hostile ground to play, but it's better to be hostile at all 11 players than one."
