Wenger: Szczesny out for six weeks

Arsene Wenger expects Wojciech Szczesny to be sidelined for around six weeks with a finger injury, and admits Arsenal “absolutely need some cover in goal”.

The 20-year-old Pole – who started the season as the Gunners’ third choice - suffered a dislocated finger in Tuesday night’s Champions League defeat to Barcelona at the Nou Camp when he was hurt saving Dani Alves’ 16th-minute free-kick.
