Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has offered his full backing to goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who will start in the Champions League clash with Partizan Belgrade.

The 25-year-old Poland international steps in with Manuel Almunia sidelined by an elbow injury, with Fabianski having featured just once so far for the Gunners this season.

Wenger told reporters: "For Fabianski it is another big chance - but you want a goalkeeper or any player to grab the chance when you get it.

"As a manager you can give a chance to a player who is good enough and I believe in his talent.

"He gets another opportunity to show how good he is. I want him to show how good he is.

"There is only one way to show confidence in a player and that is to put him on the pitch and give him his chance."
