‘The decision is easy’ – Emery gives Cech derby backing
Petr Cech will start Saturday’s derby clash against Chelsea, Arsenal manager Unai Emery has confirmed.
The Czech Republic international was handed the gloves for last weekend’s season opener against Manchester City, but after a 2-0 defeat questions were raised over his long-term future in the position.
Emery had added to his goalkeeping pool in the summer with the capture of highly rated Bayer Leverkusen shot-stopper Bernd Leno for £19.2 million ($25m), with Leverkusen themselves among those who ridiculed Cech for his apparent inability to play out from the back.
