JENS LEHMANN SET TO START AFTER ARSENAL LOSE GROUND AT WEST BROMWICH

ARSENE WENGER prepares for comeback by 41-year-old keeper Jens Lehmann against Blackburn.


"We had four targets and suddenly we have only one‚" he said. "You cannot go out of the Champions League like we did and be left with no doubts. After that we were a bit nervous at the start of this game." 


Of his team's elementary defensive errors he said: "We will be dealing with that. Our marking was not good for the first goal. I think we were a bit tentative at the start." 


Would he play Lehmann against Blackburn on 2 April? "I'm not going to get into that now. We have two weeks to decide. He has not been involved for a long time but he has kept fit. He needs to sharpen his decision making, and a bit more practice." 


With Chelsea winning against Manchester City the Arsenal boss must decide quickly to stop defensive uncharasterictic errors should the keeper set to start after Arsenal lose ground at the Hawthorns on Saturday.
