Jens lehmann insist break has benefited him
Lehmann has not featured for the Gunners since 19th August at Blackburn Rovers, where his mistake proved costly for Arsene Wenger's side in a 1-1 draw.
During that spell on the sidelines, Manuel Almunia has proved a more than able deputy, with Arsenal storming to the top of the Barclays Premier League and also impressing in Europe.
Wenger admits he has a tough selection to make when both men are fully fit.
Germany coach Joachim Low has already suggested Lehmann must be back playing regular club football if he is to remain first choice for his country.
"I know I will play for Arsenal again and think it may well be in our next game," he declared. "Maybe this break has been good for me. Maybe I needed it. I never like being out of the team, but look what happened last time.
"The manager left me out for a few weeks three years ago and when I got my place back, I ended up having the best season of my career.
"I feel ready to come back and play to the same level again. I am absolutely convinced that I will play again and I am not even considering a transfer."
