Taylor injury not serious

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has played down the seriousness of the injury which saw goalkeeper Stuart Taylor carried from the field during the friendly against Peterborough.

Taylor was taken off on a stretcher with a neckbrace fitted after colliding with the Posh’s Andy Clarke, raising concerns that the Gunners – already short of goalkeepers following the release of David Seaman – were approaching a crisis in the position.

But Wenger told Sky Sports News: “He’s all right, don’t worry about him.”

The Highbury manager has been linked with moves for a number of keepers including Leeds’ Paul Robinson and Turkey international Rustu Recber who opted for Barcelona.

He has yet to make his move but Wenger confirmed his intention to make a signing this summer, adding: “At the moment we haven’t made a decision. The only thing that is clear is that we will buy a keeper.”
