(Reuters) - Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno said he never feared losing his starting spot to Emiliano Martinez during his injury lay-off last season.

Leno, 28, sustained a knee injury in June that ruled him out of the final few matches of the 2019-20 campaign. Martinez impressed in the German's absence, playing a key role in Arsenal's FA Cup triumph but he was sold to Aston Villa in the close season.
