Rosicky to make debut, Lehmann returns

Summer signing Tomas Rosicky is set to make his Premiership debut against Manchester City today.

The Czech Republic international has been sidelined with a groin problem since playing in the first leg of the Champions League qualifier against Dinamo Zagreb.

Rosicky, who can play anywhere across the midfield, will replace Freddie Ljungberg, who will be rested as he attempts to regain match fitness.

Manager Arsène Wenger said: "Rosicky is back in the squad.

"But Ljungberg is rested. Lehmann is OK and Henry is back."

Elsewhere, José Antonio Reyes is injured and unavailable for selection, whereas Justin Hoyte will continue at left-back.

Jens Lehmann also returns in goal.

Looking forward to seeing Rosicky. Let's hope he can give us that little push we need from midfield.
