Arsene Wenger confirmed today that Wojciech Szczesny will return to the Arsenal first team and now the Pole has been handed a further boost.
Szczesny has been out of the Gunners team since January 25th but his return to the starting XI this weekend comes after he was named Brentford's goalkeeper of the decade.
The 24-year-old made 28 appearances for the Bees during a season-long loan spell in 2009/10, when the Griffin Park club was in League One.
Each Football League club has been asked to put forward four players - a goalkeeper, a defender, a midfielder and one forward - to be considered for the Team of the Decade.
