Arsene Wenger is refusing to let William Gallas be treated
by France's team doctors.
The Arsenal manager is insisting that his own medical team take
care of the defender, who has a groin problem, despite Raymond
Domenech wanting Gallas to get treatment at the French HQ at
Clairefontaine.
Wenger is concerned that the problem with Gallas's right adductor
is a reoccurring one and he wants to make sure his captain is fully
fit.
France are anxious to have Gallas available for their Euro 2008
qualifier with Italy next month.
Treatment
"I believe it is logical the Arsenal's players get treatment with
the club's doctors," Wenger told L'Equipe.
"They are perfectly qualified."
Wenger admits he is 'cautious' about Gallas and the national
team.
"If Gallas is fit he will play with the French team, but I am
cautious.
"He is suffering a strained adductor muscle, the same injury he had
last year, and that usually demands a 21-day break."
