I would have taken him out on Saturday if he had said, “I’m feeling it”. Sometimes when you are playing you only feel it after you stop. I have no concerns about Fabianski. Only you in the media have concerns. He made mistakes against Porto, but he can show that he has learnt from that.’
Meanwhile, the Mirror today says Henri Lansbury stands by to make his Champions League debut tonight in a new-look Arsenal side captained by Tomas Rosicky. The paper says Lansbury’s reward for scoring his first senior goal against T******** last week was elevation to the first team squad when Abou Diaby pulled out injured.
Looking ahead to Sunday’s game at Chelsea, and the Sun tells us that AW thinks Cesc may have a chance of a comeback from injury at Shit Bridge. He said: “Cesc started to run so we will see his reaction. We will monitor his progress during the week but there is a little hope that he could be available.”
Fingers crossed.
