Despite some reports that David Ospina might miss this week’s game with Monaco, the Colombian is fit and trained fully today.

It had been suggested that a back injury, picked up when he came steaming out of his goal to leap above Per Mertesacker and head the ball clear, might keep him out of the Monaco clash. He received treatment for the knock during the game but was fit to continue.

However, it does seem as if Arsene Wenger is happy to sweat both Ospina and Wojciech Szczesny as he seeks to have them compete with each other for the number 1 spot.

Asked who would get the nod tomorrow, Wenger said, “I cannot tell you that today”, and when pressed on the Pole’s current state of mind, having lost his place, the Arsenal manager said, “I worry about every single player in my squad and I want every single player to be happy but at the end of the day only 11 players can start the game.

“That’s the same for every single player. We have competition for places and that’s part of our job. I don’t think that’s a special worry.”
