- Angry Lehmann lashes out
Veteran Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann has once again spoken of his frustration with his current role at the Emirates Stadium.
The 38-year-old is widely expected to be Germany's first-choice shot-stopper at this summer's European Championships even though he has spent most of the season on his club's substitute's bench.
Lehmann is particularly annoyed that he has lost his place to Manuel Almunia, a goalkeeper he has little time for.
A fuming Lehmann told Kicker: "I don't find it very funny being forced to sit on the bench for a man who didn't start playing until he was 30. I am very angry.
"I stayed to win the Champions League and I saw a good chance of being able to play. The fact that I didn't made me extremely angry.
"If the trainer had told me before the season started what was going to happen, then I could have decided whether or not I wanted to sit on the bench."
