Arsene Wenger offers no Wojciech Szczesny guarantees

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has every confidence Wojciech Szczesny is up to the challenge of returning in goal for tomorrow’s FA Cup semi-final against Reading at Wembley, but will offer no guarantees the Poland stopper will be their long-term number one.

Since the turn of the year, Szczesny has seen his position at the Emirates Stadium lost to David Ospina following some poor performances coupled with negative off-field headlines when caught smoking in the showers after the Premier League defeat at Southampton on January 1.

Szczesny has not played since the quarter-final win at Manchester United, but Wenger believes the goalkeeper will be sharp enough to come back between the posts this weekend.
