Soccer-Champions League roundup-Van Persie back in Arsenal squad

LONDON, March 3 (Reuters) - Champions League news in brief ahead of this week's last 16 second-leg matches:

* Arsenal have included striker Robin van Persie in their squad for Tuesday's match against AC Milan in Italy, the Premier League leaders said on their Web site (www.arsenal.com).

The Dutchman has been out since early January with a thigh injury.

Ivorian defender Kolo Toure, however, has not recovered from a thigh problem and misses out.

* Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez put the favourites tag on visitors Fenerbahce for Tuesday's game at the Sanchez Pizjuan because the Turkish side hold a 3-2 lead from the first leg.

"If the scores were level at 0-0 for example I would say we were favourites as we're at home. But we have a result against us and a draw is no good. As a result they are favourites, though we don't feel inferior," Jimenez said.

Sevilla have an injury doubt over Serbia defender Ivica Dragutinovic.
