Is Wojciech Szczesny about to return to save the day for Arsenal?

Never has a club been so poor at sorting out its goalkeeping situation, and never before has a club had so many injury problems with its goalkeepers. However, despite all this Arsenal and their manager Arsene Wenger seem to have been saved by the early return of a man that the Arsenal boss dismissed as being too inexperienced at the start of the current season.

Wojciech Szczesny, despite his tender age, has already won over the Arsenal fans and fully earned their trust and support, something that no other goalkeeper has enjoyed this season from Gunners fans, who have grown sick and tired of high-profile errors in crucial games, and his return this weekend can perhaps provide the kind of boost that Arsenal need if they are to stand a chance of pulling off an upset by denying Manchester United the chance to end the season as champions. The Arsenal betting indicates this is an outside chance, but at least he might be able to keep things respectable.

If Szczesny can come back and start playing in the same manner that he did before his injury, then we can safely say that any talk of Pepe Reina or Buffon joining Arsenal in the summer will be consigned to only the trashiest of papers looking to sell copies on the back of transfer rumours.

However, while Arsenal fans will hope that this is the situation that unfolds, Wenger also knows that Szczesny could find himself making one or two mistakes when he gets back in between the sticks, losing some of the confidence that is required for a goalkeeper to be world class in the process.

It’s a delicate balance but one that the youngster will have to get right if he wishes to relieve his manager of an immense deal of pressure as the season draws to a close.
