Jens Lehmann was delighted with his playing comeback for Arsenal reserves yesterday.
The German goalkeeper, 41, looked rusty in the defeat to Wigan Athletic.
"It was very beneficial for me to play a game," he told Arsenal.com. "Physically I felt well because I've trained hard during the last few weeks.
"I was OK before [I joined] but it's different when you train with the team for three hours. I felt that quite a lot last weekend. But now I have recovered a little bit and I felt quite fresh today.
"It was good, I was looking forward to it. Unfortunately, we lost so I'm not really happy. It is always good to learn a little bit what I could have done better.
"There are some situations that you can't play in a training game because in a real game there is a referee, linesmen and everything has to fit together to create situations like the game itself.
"It was a good experience."
