Almunia to miss Gunners Euro tie

Lukasz Fabianski will start in goal for Arsenal in their Champions League encounter at Partizan Belgrade tomorrow night after Manuel Almunia was ruled out with an elbow injury.

The north London club confirmed on their website this morning that the Pole will take over between the posts with Almunia having hurt his elbow when he gave away a penalty in Saturday’s 3-2 home defeat to West Brom.
