Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has told the fans not to forget what Bernd Leno has done for the club, as quoted in The Mirror.

Leno was dropped for Arsenal’s Premier League game against Norwich City at the Emirates Stadium this past weekend.

Aarons Ramsdale, signed from Sheffield United in the summer transfer window, started the match.

The Englishman kept a clean sheet, and Arsenal won 1-0.

Arteta told The Mirror: ”We have two fantastic goalkeepers. Never forget what Bernd has done for us and what a good goalkeeper he is.”

Could Bernd Leno get back?

Ramsdale did well against Norwich and was publicly praised by Arsenal manager Arteta after the match.

The 23-year-old also kept a clean sheet against West Bromwich Albion in the Carabao Cup last month.

It would be really harsh on Ramsdale to drop him from the team for Arsenal’s next match.

After all, the English goalkeeper has not done anything wrong yet.

Leno is a good goalkeeper, but the Germany international made mistakes last season.

Ramsdale is also better technically with his feet.

There is a very good chance that Leno is set for a spell on the sidelines at Arsenal now.

As for Ramsdale, if he gets a run of games, then he needs to make sure that he does his best and does not make any mistake.
