  The return from suspension of striker Emmanuel Adebayor has come as a relief to Arsenal chief Arsene Wenger.
  
  Adebayor has been forced to sit out Arsenal's last four games having picked up a lengthy ban for his part in a brawl during the Carling Cup final.
  
  Wenger's attacking options have been limited in recent weeks due to injuries to Thierry Henry and Robin van Persie and he is happy to have the Togo striker back at his disposal for the final nine games of the Premiership season.
  
  "It is important for us," Wenger told it's TV ahead of Saturday's clash with Liverpool.
  
  "With the number of strikers we have out, his presence, physical ability and penetration power means it is good to have him back.
  
  "We have been punished very hard with Adebayor so it is a relief to have him with us again."
  
  Arsenal sit in third, a point ahead of Liverpool, and can reinforce their claims for a UEFA Champions League berth with a win at Anfield.

  Arsenal only got 2 world class strikers - Henry and Van Perise.
  
  The rest are still not up to mark yet.

  Adebayor's suspension was unnecessary. Even the person he supposedly whacked said he was in the clear.
  
  Maybe EPL referees are being racist. If so, they should be dropped.
