really, is that rumor or confirmed?
Jens Lehmann will make his return to first-team action against Steaua Bucharest on Wednesday.
The German keeper last played for Arsenal at Blackburn on August 19. He was initially kept out through injury but, latterly, manager Arsène Wenger has favoured Manuel Almunia.
“You will see Jens Lehmann in goal tomorrow,” said the Frenchman at Tuesday’s pre-match press conference. “This was decided three weeks ago so it is independent of anything else.”
Wenger described the attitude of the 38-year-old as “fantastic” during his absence. “This man is super-professional and an example for everybody,” he added.
Robin van Persie is also going to be involved. The Dutch striker has not been seen in an Arsenal shirt since October 7 because of a knee problem.
“He is OK,” said Wenger. “He will be in the squad tomorrow. I have not yet made a decision if he will start but he could play some part.
“The other players who were out before are still out except Abou Diaby. He is in the squad and maybe he will play a part in the game.”
The remaining absentees are Cesc Fabregas (hamstring), Alex Hleb (Achilles) and Mathieu Flamini (thigh).

Im going for:
Lehmann
Hoyte Senderos Gilberto Traore
Walcott Diarra Denilson Rosicky
Dudu Bendtner
Fabianski
Song
Sagna
Diaby
Rosicky
Walcott
Van Persie
Cumon the lads

So are we taking bets on how quickly he will be sent off? I''ll give you some great odds!
