Lehmann to risk Euro 2008 place

Jens Lehmann looks all set to remain at Arsenal until next summer despite not playing regular first-team football.

The German goalkeeper has stated his desire to remain in London until the summer of 2008 so as not to disrupt the lives of his young family.

LEHMANN LINKED WITH CITY

Arsenal keeper Jens Lehmann is being linked with a loan move to Manchester City.

The Evening Standard says that City are looking for an experienced custodian and will look to bring in the German.

Lehmann has been told he has no future at Arsenal but he needs first-team football to keep his place as Germany's number one at Euro 2008.

Wenger admitted: "I can't guarantee he will be here for the second half of the season but I can't make that guarantee about anybody.

Out of favour Lehmann to return for Arsenal

Veteran German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann is set to return to the Arsenal team for Wednesday night's final Champions League Group H clash against whipping boys Steaua Bucharest at Emirates Stadium.

Striker Robin van Persie will also be in the squad, having recovered from a knee problem which sidelined him since October, while midfielder Abou Diaby is fit again following a back problem.
