Wenger: Gallas' future is at Arsenal

Manager Arsène Wenger is confident that defender William Gallas will still be at Arsenal next season.

There has been heavy speculation that Gallas will leave the club, especially after he was stripped of the captaincy.

Wenger said: "He has a year left on his contract. I envisage him to be here next year.

"He had a challenging season but I believe he had to cope with a major disappointment. You have to give him a lot of credit because he came back with great performances so he dealt well with the situation.

"He turns up in the big games with goals – when it matters. And that was a good surprise.

"He has a grade two medial knee ligament injury. If he comes back before the end of the season it will be a good surprise.

"I don't really know how they measure the grades but I think it's the degree of laxity and instability. Cesc Fabregas was a two as well, but William's is a bit less than Fabregas."
