Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny suffered a hand injury in today's Champions League match against Barcelona in the first half, and Manuel Almunia had to replace him. Well, according to a report from Saj Chowdhury, football writer for the BBC, the injury sustained in today's Champion's League match is a dislocated finger:

There is no word on the club's website yet, and no word on how long the Pole could miss with an injury like this, although if healing goes well, dislocated fingers can take 3-6 weeks to fully recover from, according to WebMD. If that is the case with Szcesny, he will possibly not be fit until the last few matches of the year in late April and early May. Hopefully the club will release more information soon, because Arsenal supporters worldwide will have to steady themselves at the thought of youth keeper James Shea being second in line if Arsenal cannot arrange for Vito Mannone's return from Hull City.

I think he may be able to play with a dislocation
If he’s got tape and pain killers.
Squeezed to Song and Bendtner and Song and Nasri oh lovely lovely lovely!
-Peter Drury, the one time his commentating has ever been acceptable.
I agree
Only issue will be catching

Maybe yes, mabye no.
This is one of the few examples where having to use your hands is a negative. Even with tape and/or a splint he still risks injuring it again and making it worse in it’s weakened state. We’ll have to wait for more evaluation to know for sure.
Captain, there are doubt's...
