Arsenal midfielder Wilshere has total confidence in Martinez

Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere says rookie goalkeeper Damian Martinez is ready for his Champions League debut at Anderlecht.

Wilshere has backed Martinez to provide Arsenal with the stability they need against the Belgian champions.

"He has grown up in the last two years, playing at Sheffield Wednesday on loan in the Championship, which is a very tough league to play in, especially in England as a foreign lad," said Wilshere.

"We're confident in him, we train with him every day, see what he can do and he'll be ready."
