Arsenal goalkeeper Bernd Leno received a phone call from Gunners legend Jens Lehmann to check he was OK after the German lost his No 1 spot to Aaron Ramsdale.
Lehmann, 52, and Leno, 29, were both at Stuttgart during the 2009/2010 season and have kept in touch ever since.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta made Ramsdale his first-choice stopper after signing him from Sheffield United in a £24million deal in the summer.

Leno revealed in September that he's been given 'no clear reason' as to why he's lost his starting spot by Arteta.
And Lehmann - who spent five years in north London before joining Stuttgart - called his compatriot to check in on him.
In an interview with the Arsenal programme ahead of their home clash against Southampton, Leno recalled: 'I will never forget what I learned from Jens.

'I am still in touch with him. In fact he called me the other day to ask if everything is OK.
'It's always great to speak with him because he has experienced so much in football and always has good advice.
'It's important to stay in touch with people because the football world is very small and the goalkeeping world is even smaller.'
Leno has played just five times this season - three in the Premier League and twice in the Carabao Cup. while Ramsdale has featured on 13 occasions in the top flight.
