Arsene Wenger admits Jens Lehmann is no longer Arsenal's first
choice goalkeeper.
The Arsenal manager is set to stick with Manuel Almunia for
Saturday's Premier League match against Bolton, despite Lehmann
returning from injury.
Lehmann has not appeared for the Gunners since 19th August, but
despite suffering a slight injury in training on Friday the German
shot-stopper is available for selection.
Wenger, though, will stand by Almunia who has played a crucial role
in Arsenal's unbeaten start to the season and has named Lukasz
Fabianski as the substitute goalkeeper as he keeps faith with the
players who have made an unbeaten start to the season.
"Almunia will play and I have decided to stick with the same team
and keep the continuity going," said Wenger.
Competition
"In my opinion we have three world class keepers and only one of
them can play. I have got 25 players in the squad and they all
expect to play.
"The player (Lehmann) is disappointed but there is a lot of
competition for places. He is an intelligent guy and knows what he
has to do.
"He can go on the bench. But for tomorrow I have decided to leave
him out completely.
"Jens is a world class keeper but I had to make the choice for the
continuity of the side."
le boss is a genius manager.
indeed,dun change a winning team.
