Arsene Wenger must choose between Arsenal's third and fourthchoice goalkeepers for tomorrow's Champions League opener against Standard Liege.
Manuel Almunia has a chest infection while reserve stopper Lukasz Fabianski has a knee injury, leaving Vito Mannone and Wojciech Szczesny as the options for Wenger.
Italian Mannone, 21, joined Arsenal in 2005 but had to wait until the final game of last season - the 4-1 win over Stoke - to make his debut.
Szczesny has never played for the first team but the 19-year-old Pole was on the bench for the same game.
There are more problems for manager Wenger as Robin van Persie has a knee injury and Denilson a back problem.

we need a world class goalkeeper. Seaman and Lehman would have never made the mistake for giving a penalty at Man Utd and they would have certainly saved the first goal at Man City which started the rot,and caused the defeat.Arsene is too loyal to two three players which should have long been offloaded.
