Arsenal boss Emery: Leno will play; but no guarantees

Arsenal boss Unai Emery says Bernd Leno has his total confidence.

The former Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper will make his debut tonight against Europa League opponents Vorskla.

Emery stated: "Yes, Bernd Leno is going to play tomorrow. In our planning with our goalkeeper we have spoken with Javi Garcia, the goalkeeping coach. We need with Leno to give him a chance and the minutes of the game.

"The first decision for me in every match is the performance. Tomorrow we are going to play Leno, but in each match we are going to look at each performance and each preparation for continuing playing, but not for giving Leno, Petr [Cech] or Emi [Martinez] one competition to play in.

"We are going to start tomorrow by giving [Leno] the chance and the minutes, but we are going to continue looking and testing every match."
