Arsene Wenger right to rest Arsenal stars for Europa League ties, says Red Star Belgrade boss Vladan Milojevic

Red Star Belgrade boss Vladan Milojevic has backed Arsene Wenger's decision to rest his key players in this season's Europa League.

The Serbian SuperLiga side face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night looking to take a positive result and keep their hopes of progressing from Group H alive.

Arsenal will qualify for the round of 32 if they can repeat their victory in Belgrade a fortnight ago, where an Olivier Giroud goal settled the game in favour of the visitors.
