Arsenal boss confirms Lehmann return

With Fabianski and Szczesny ruled out through injury, Lehmann stated he was in talks to help cover the injury crises, although he is currently retired.

Wenger said: “Lehmann is training with us and will sign for the rest of the season. We have no cover in the Premier League, so that is why I decided to bring Jens back. He has not signed but it [a contract] has been agreed.”

Lehmann will sign for free and could feature in Arsenal’s squad for their game against West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
