Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny apologized for his father's comments which criticized Arsene Wenger for playing his son while he was injured.
Szczesny Sr. unleashed a tirade at the Arsenal manager, saying Wenger had was now making him the scapegoat after a run of poor results.
The Arsenal goalkeeper was quick to make a statement regarding those comments, while apologizing for his father's rather exuberant remarks.
"I would like to apologise for the comments made by my father which have been used by both Polish and English media," he said in a statement on the club's official website.
"I'd like to make it clear that those were the views and opinions of my father and not mine, and although I respect his views I cannot accept them as I find them disrespectful to the club I truly love.
"I have been at Arsenal Football Club for seven years now and I have always shown my full respect to the Club, Arsene Wenger, all the coaching staff, my teammates and the fans.
"I've always felt that I received great support from the manager and the fans and I am fully focused on getting back to my best.
"I am proud to be a part of Arsenal and I see my future at this great club."
Szczesny also admitted Wenger had made the right decision to drop him for the game against Bayern Munich and Swansea, with Lukasz Fabianski showing better form in training.
"I'm a realist," he told Przeglad Sportowy. "I saw what is happening in training, who is in better form. The manager told me earlier, what will happen in the next few weeks. I was ready to watch the Bayern game on TV.
"Of course, I would have preferred to play, but Lukasz was in better form and he played a very good game. This decision is made based on player's form. The same happens with strikers; the striker who is scoring goals is playing.
"I don't think there is a player more important than the club. If the team won two games, and I was not playing, then I have no complaints. The most important thing is that the team is winning, and the player who is in better form will play."
