Gallas admits Toure blow
-
Arsenal captain William Gallas admits the table-toppers will miss Kolo Toure while he plays in the African Cup of Nations.
The defender is set to miss the Gunners' next few games as he plays for the Ivory Coast in the tournament in Ghana.
If his team do well, Toure could be away well into February and Gallas admits the Gunners will miss the Ivorian, although whoever replaces him in the team will also be good.
Gallas told his club's official website: "Kolo is very important for the squad because he is very strong. He has good qualities and my relationship with him has been good.
Miss
"We have good players in the squad and someone else will be able to play. If you play for Arsenal you are very good and I hope my relationship with them will be good too. We will miss Kolo but I can only say how much after a few weeks."
With the title-race now hotting-up, Gallas believes the team's ten-point haul over the festive period shows Arsenal's desire to become champions.
He said: "We played very well and it was just about what we had to do. We have got two days off so we can relax now.
"It is good that we are top. It was important for us to show everybody that we wanted to be there. For me it is not finished and we have to stay strong to stay on top. -
