The former England worldwide – and a four-time league champion with the Gunners – hit out after Arsenal’s 1-1 Champions League draw with PSG on Tuesday. “You can not keep two world-class goalkeepers if they don’t both get games”.

The Premier League side went down 1-0 less than a minute into the match, with Edinson Cavani getting the early goal for the French champions.
“Ospina was very good and he will have shown tonight for those who doubted him that he is a good goalkeeper”, added Wenger.
Angel Di Maria proved a constant threat, finding Rabiot in the box with a superb backheel and forcing Arsenal keeper David Ospina to make a spectacular save direct from a corner.
Arsenal travel to Hull off the back of their smash and grab draw with PSG in the Champions League in midweek.
The 19-year-old spurned a clear chance in the 82nd minute for the Gunners which forced a fine save from the Parisian goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, an opportunity which would have ensured maximum points for the London club. “It’s down to performances and on what he has delivered tonight, he has the right to play in the next game”.
“We can always change our minds”.
French champions PSG, who took only one point from their last two Ligue 1 games, next travel to Ludogorets while Arsenal will host Basel on September 28. In the end, when we came out in the second half, we had more of the game.
‘If Arsene Wenger thinks that’s the way forward, I don’t think we’ll get anywhere in the European Cup this season.

From a PSG perspective, their inability to see out the victory was less to do with Ospina than with Cavani’s inability to convert several chances. “I am not happy with the result but I am happy with how we played”, insisted Emery, who refused to be critical of Cavani. “That is positive for the future”.
