Tomaszewski takes Wenger to task on Szczesny injury

Former Poland goalkeeper Jan Tomaszewski has launched a furious attack against Arsene Wenger and accused the Arsenal coach of putting goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny’s career at risk.

Szczesny is set to start for Euro 2012 hosts Poland in tonight’s Group A opening match but he ended the season with a shoulder injury and had played through the pain for the last three matches of the campaign.

“I can’t believe that Szczesny played for the last few weeks of the season on pain-killers, having injections at Arsenal,” said Tomaszewski. “He is one of our hopes for the Euro 2012, a leader of our team, a world-class player and someone with character, finally! He’s a true number one though playing on injections with injury is a career-risking decision.
