On Tuesday, during the UEFA Champions League second leg match against Barcelona, London goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny injured his finger and will be unable to play for about six weeks.
The Polish goalkeeper's injury is a serious headache for the Arsenal team manager Arsene Wenger, as the 'gunners' are left with only one healthy goalkeeper - Manuel Almunia.
Lukasz Fabianski will no longer appear on the field this season due to a shoulder injury, and Vito Mannone, who was loaned to Hull, will be out of football for another six weeks due to a thigh problem.
Arsene Wenger himself confirmed that Arsenal will seek reinforcement in other clubs: "We need an experienced goalkeeper who is ready to replace Almunia."
Since the transfer window has already closed, Arsenal will need a special permission from the English Premier League officials to register the loaned goalkeeper.
