Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno received a phone call from Gunners legend Jens Lehmann to check he was OK after the German lost his No 1 spot to Aaron Ramsdale.
Lehmann, 52, and Leno, 29, were both at Stuttgart during the 2009/2010 season and have kept in touch ever since.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made Ramsdale his first-choice stopper after signing him from Sheffield United in a £24million deal in the summer.
Leno revealed in September that he's been given 'no clear reason' as to why he's lost his starting spot by Arteta.
