uefa.com brings you up to date with the news from the teams in UEFA Champions League action on Wednesday.

Following the weekend's domestic action, uefa.com brings you up to date with the latest UEFA Champions League squad news for teams in Groups E-H.

Group E
Ashley Cole's first-half goal was enough to give the Arsenal FC a 1-0 victory against Manchester City FC. Sol Campbell, out since UEFA EURO 2004™ with an achilles problem, returned to the starting lineup and should feature against Rosenborg BK, who warmed up with a 3-1 win against Sogndal IL. Midfield player Ørjan Berg, who picked up a knee injury a week ago, was rested but could be fit to face Arsène Wenger's side.

PSV Eindhoven prepared for the visit of Panathinaikos FC by beating SC Heerenveen 4-0. Defender André Ooijer returned from injury but hobbled off midway through the first half with a hamstring injury and may miss Wednesday's game, as could striker Gerald Sibon, who has a sore ankle. Brazilian defender Alex hurt his knee but has more chance of being fit. Two goals by Angelos Basinas and one by Rudolf Skacel sealed Panathinaikos's 3-1 home victory over Xanthi FC on Saturday. But the Greek champions will fly to Eindhoven this week without the injured trio of Lucian Sanmartean, Emmanuel Olisadebe and Raimondas Zutautas.

Group F
Frank Rijkaard's FC Barcelona came through Sunday evening's 3-1 win against RCD Mallorca without suffering further injuries after losing Gabri García and Sylvinho to long-term lay-offs in midweek. Oleguer Presas has returned after a sprained ankle and could feature against FC Shakhtar Donetsk, who defeated FC Arsenal Kyiv at the weekend with goals from Brandão, Matuzalem and Andriy Vorobey. A knee injury rules out Nigerian striker Julius Aghahowa, while Darijo Srna is suspended.

Celtic FC manager Martin O'Neill hopes to have Chris Sutton and Didier Agathe available for their away game against AC Milan. Both players are recovering from groin injuries and were rested during Celtic's 3-0 win over Dunfermline Athletic FC. Two late goals from Andriy Shevchenko brought Milan a 2-1 victory at S.S. Lazio. Filippo Inzaghi was rested while Kakha Kaladze filled in for the injured Jaap Stam.

Group G
RSC Anderlecht lost 2-1 at R. Charleroi SC on Friday with Olivier Deschacht scoring his first goal for the club. After months of injury, experienced midfield player Yves Vanderhaeghe and defender Glen De Boeck returned to the team while Mbo Mpenza played despite a back problem. Defender Michal Zewlakow, who has had a thigh injury, may play against FC Internazionale Milano but Hannu Tihinen (foot), Martin Kolar and Clayton Zane (knee), and Marc Deman (stretched muscle) are all on the injury list.

Greek international Angelos Charisteas was a scoring substitute in the 4-1 win again Werder Bremen on Saturday after recovering from an ear problem. Captain Frank Baumann may also be fit for the match against Valencia CF, despite suffering a calf injury. Pekka Lagerblom was missing against Bochum but should be fit for Wednesday.

Inter drew their third game out of four in their Serie A campaign as substitute Obafemi Martins twice cancelled out Parma FC goals in a 2-2 draw. Roberto Mancini started with Adriano and Christian Vieri in attack but Martins' efforts after replacing Vieri earned them a point. Javier Zanetti, Juan Sebastián Verón and Edgar Davids all returned to the starting lineup.

Goals from Vicente Rodríguez and Stefano Fiore earned Valencia CF a 2-0 win against Real Racing Club Santander that kept them top of the Primera División. Coach Claudio Ranieri rested goalkeeper Santiago Cañizares, who has been suffering a hamstring problem, Andrés Palop deputising, and Rubén Baraja, Amedeo Carboni and leading scorer Marco Di Vaio also did not feature. Ranieri has just Pablo Aimar sidelined with a muscle tear.

Group H
Chelsea FC remain unbeaten this term, having conceded just one goal in seven Premiership matches after Saturday's 1-0 success at Middlesbrough FC, Didier Drogba the scorer. Damien Duff made his first start of the season, while William Gallas took the injured Wayne Bridge's place at left-back.

Chelsea's opponents on Wednesday, FC Porto, clinched their first league win of the season with an 83rd-minute goal from Costinha at Vitória SC. The European champions were without right-back Giourkas Seitaridis who has also missed the trip to London along with left-back Nuno Valente.

PFC CSKA Moskva lost against city rivals FC Lokomotiv Moskva, Dmitri Loskov's goal separating the two sides. CSKA, who are second in the Premier-Liga, were missing the suspended Yuri Zhirkov and Vasili Berezoutski but they will be available for selection on Wednesday.

Paris Saint-Germain FC will travel to Moscow with renewed confidence after registering their first win of the season, 1-0 against RC Strasbourg. Pauleta's fourth strike this year sealed the victory. Jérôme Rothen is doubtful for the midweek game.
