Arsenal keeper Wojciech Szczesny (second right) concedes a goal against Southampton in a previous match.<\/p><\/div>\n

LONDON, May 29- Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has become embroiled in a war of words with his own father over controversial comments his parent made about Gunners boss Arsene Wenger and his team-mates.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Szczesny is likely to start for Arsenal in the FA Cup final against Aston Villa at Wembley on Saturday despite losing his position as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper to David Ospina earlier this season.<\/p>\n

But Wenger has only played the Poland international in cup competitions after catching him smoking in the showers following Arsenal’s 2-0 defeat at Southampton on New Year’s Day.<\/p>\n

Szczesny’s father Maciej, himself a former Poland goalkeeper, accused Wenger of being disloyal towards his son earlier this year and claimed the smoking story was “exaggerated” by the media.<\/p>\n

He also said Arsenal’s defence was to blame for a number of goals they have conceded this season and singled out Per Mertesacker as a guilty party, claiming the German defender had “the agility of a rhinoceros” in an interview with Polish newspaper Przeglad Sportowy.<\/p>\n

Those quotes infuriated Szczesny and he published a response on his Facebook page on Friday.<\/p>\n

“Really shouldn’t be dealing with this one day before the cup final but my father leaves me no choice,” he wrote.<\/p>\n

“I have not spoken to him in more than 2 years and just like everybody else I have had enough of his idiotic comments about the football club and the manager I owe so much to!<\/p>\n

“Therefore please do not consider his comments as my shared view. Thank You for your understanding!”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
