Tardelli included in PSV’s starting line-up (PSV.nl)

Diego Tardelli is in PSV’s starting line-up against Arsenal as PSV head coach Ronald Koeman is without Jefferson Farfán, who has not yet recovered from an injury. Tardelli will join Arouna Koné in attack. Koeman has not been forced to reshuffle his rearguard.
Farfán joins Ibrahim Afellay, Michael Reiziger, Patrick Kluivert and John de Jong on an already-lengthy injury list, while Alcides is not eligible to play, as he already participated in the tournament with Benfica this season. Xiang Sun starts on the bench; if he is brought on as a substitute, he will be the first Chinese ever to feature in a UEFA Champions League tie. PSV will start the game with only five players on the bench.
PSV starting line-up:
Gomes, Kromkamp, Alex, Da Costa, Salcido, Simons, Cocu, Culina, Mendez, Koné, Tardelli.
Substitutes: Moens, Addo, Väyrynen, Fehér and Xiang Sun.
