Former Germany goalkeeper Oliver Kahn has questioned current national team keeper Jens Lehmann over his decision to turn down the chance to rejoin Borussia Dortmund in light of his current predicament at Arsenal.

Lehmann has hardly got a match in since Arsene Wenger decided to drop him in favour of Manuel Almunia just a few games into the season, and he suprised almost everybody when he pulled the plug on a proposed move back to the Westfalen last week due to "personal reasons".

Now his age-old goalkeeper rival Kahn, of all people, has publicly questioned his judgement, saying that having a first-choice keeper short of match-practice does not bode well for the 'Nationalmannschaft' ahead of Euro 2008.

"It's a problem, Jens knows that as well. It's a dangerous thing, a dangerous path," opined Kahn from Bayern Munich's training camp in Marbella, Spain.

"It surprises me that he is not seeking every opportunity to get match practice," added the 38-year-old, who famously lost his number one shirt in the national team to Lehmann just ahead of the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

Kahn then spared a few words for his personal decision to hang up his gloves at the end of the season.

"I have had a lot of success, a lot of failures, a lot of emotional experiences. You try once again to give everything in the next few months - and then it will be enough," he said.

Kahn has enjoyed a glittering career, having won seven Bundesliga titles, five German Cups, a Champions League and a UEFA Cup trophy, as well as the Intercontinental Cup and European Championship.
