Hleb: Lehmann an angry man

Arsenal midfielder Alexander Hleb has revealed that German goalkeeper Jens Lehmann gave his teammates the silent treatment after he lost his place to Manuel Almunia. Lehmann has cut a solitary figure in recent weeks as he battles for the first team spot.

Hleb told The Sun: "At first, when Jens was not picked, he was very angry. He did not speak any more.

"He has a good heart - as long as we speak about private things.

"But when he stands on the training ground he becomes a different person. The way he acts there sometimes needs getting used to."
