Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Wojciech Szczesny is still a great goalkeeper and has backed the Pole to prove his class in Saturday's FA Cup semi-final against Reading at Wembley.
Szczesny has not played since the FA Cup quarter-final win at Manchester United after losing his place to David Ospina following some poor performances and negative off-field headlines.
But Wenger believes the Polish goalkeeper is good enough to return between the posts against Reading on Saturday.
"I believe that before a game you prepare mentally and there is no special problem," said Wenger.
"I replaced Wojciech because he had a bad game. I still think he is a great goalkeeper and I want him as well to have the opportunity to show that.
"On Wednesday night, I watched PSG against Barcelona and they (Barcelona) played their goalkeeper number two (Marc-Andre ter Stegen) in the Champions League game. Why? Because you need to give them as well competition."
Wenger continued: "They know the rules. It is based on merit.
"If you have a disastrous game you don't play in the next one, but as well the first priority is the quality of the competition.
"You are right (Ospina has done nothing wrong), but if Wojciech remained number one, Ospina would play on Saturday.
"Once you have the rule, based on the fact Wojciech had a good game against Manchester United and there is no special reason to drop him (now) for Saturday."
Asked if Szczesny had a long-term future at Arsenal, Wenger replied: "I hope yes, but at the moment it is very difficult to answer that question. What is important is Saturday."
