Ashley Cole omitted from Arsenal’s squad

Ashley Cole is NOT in Arsenal’s squad for their Premiership opener against Aston Villa,
despite claiming he is available to play. Ooh, the plot thickens.
Can we assume that this means a deal has been struck with Chelsea? If so, why hasn’t it been announced yet? Arseblog, who usually know what the craic is, seems to think that Cole is definitely off, which is good enough for me.
Btw, if you’re a Gooner, then Arseblog’s season preview is a must-read.
