Arsene Wenger had given an hint on the present condition of his team ahead of today's game.
on squad changes...
There are a couple of changes - we have Diaby back in the squad. He is back and available.
on James Shea…
He was on the list as goalkeeper No 5 at the beginning of the season and now he is No 2! That shows you how quickly football can change. Martinez is ineligible for the B list and Wojciech [Szczesny] and Fabianski are injured. So Mannone will play tomorrow.
on Szczesny…
I don't think [his injury was a factor in Saturday's performance]. He did it before the game. I am not sure how it affected the goal he conceded. He says not but of course we had a question in our minds before the game: do we change him or not? We decided to leave him on.
