Germany coaches defend Arsenal keeper Lehmann

Germany's coaching staff have rallied around under pressure Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann.

Lehmann made two howlers in the first week of the Premiership season, but Germany coach Joachim Loew says: "With a view to Euro 2008 Jens is, and will stay, our number one.

German goalkeeping coach Andreas Koepke also offered his support saying: "Jens knows how to deal with this sort of pressure. He proved that before the World Cup in his battle with Oliver Kahn."
