Wenger heaps praise on under-fire Gallas
12:05pm Wednesday 26th November 2008
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has labelled the display of William Gallas in last night's Champions League victory over Dynamo Kiev as 'completely committed'.
Gallas returned to the starting line-up after being stripped of the club's captaincy and axed from Wenger's team for Saturday's Premier League defeat at Manchester City.
Wenger's move followed Gallas' decision to criticised his team-mates, but the Arsenal boss reinstated the former Chelsea player on Tuesday and was delighted with the 31-year-old's performance.
"I believe his focus was great," he said.
"He wanted to do well and you could see he was completely committed in the game. Overall, I feel he did well."
