Alex Hleb has been reunited with his old coach Arsene Wenger ahead of Thursday’s Europa League clash between his former sides.
The Belarusian midfielder spent three years at Arsenal before joining Barcelona in 2008 – a move which he later came to regret as he vied for a place in Pep Guardiola’s side alongside a young Lionel Messi.
Hleb, who spent four different spells at Thursday's opponents, was renowned for his superb dribbling ability earning the nickname ‘Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ while at German side Stuttgart and was invited to meet with Wenger ahead of their game against BATE Borisov on Thursday night.
