ENGLISH Premier League side Arsenal will travel to Asia to play a Malaysia XI in a friendly match in July despite manager Arsene Wenger's concerns about long tours causing fatigue to players.
The game will be played at the Bukit Jalil Stadium, which has a capacity of over 80,000, on July 13 in the first part of their Asian tour. The club said it would give details about the second stage at a later date. "Everyone at Arsenal Football Club is excited to be visiting Malaysia," Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis said. "The club has a tradition of playing there going back to the 1960s. This will be our fourth visit to Malaysia, having last visited Kuala Lumpur in 1999."
