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).

I was gonna say 3-0 but now Lehmann is in goal im going for 3-1, im not saying hes a bad keeper but im sure he'll make 1 mistake as he's a bit rusty. Would be good to see Diaby and Persie back in action.

Im going for:

Lehmann
Hoyte Senderos Gilberto Traore
Walcott Diarra Denilson Rosicky
Dudu Bendtner

Fabianski
Song
Sagna
Clichy
Diaby
Eboue
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!

I'm not a betting man, but I'd say he at least gets a yellow........ he's got a lot of frustration to let out ya know.

I would expect nothing less to be honest. He's got a point to prove & a clean sheet is the only way he's gona do it.
