Wojciech Szczesny will start in the FA Cup semi-final but the future looks bleak for the Poland goalkeeper who has been deposed as Arsenal’s No 1.
Arsene Wenger confirmed Szczesny will play ahead of David Ospina against Reading at Wembley on Saturday but offered no further guarantees.
‘At the moment, I hope yes,’ said Wenger, after a long, uncharacteristic hesitation, when asked if Szczesny had a long-term future at the club. ‘It is very difficult to answer that question, you know. What is important is Saturday.
‘His attitude is very good. He has trained very well, very focused. Your job is to fight for your place, no matter how difficult it is. When you choose this kind of job you know it is down to competition.’
Szczesny is understood to be content with his situation and confident of winning back his place. His Arsenal contract runs until 2018, but he has made just three appearances — all in the FA Cup — since an error-strewn display at Southampton on New Year’s Day.
Arsenal have greatly improved since the defeat at St Mary’s when Szczesny mix-ups led to two goals. He then infuriated Wenger after the game by puffing on a cigarette in the showers.
