LONDON (Reuters) - Jens Lehmann has injured his Achilles tendon and will miss Saturday's home clash with English Premier League leaders Manchester City, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said yesterday.
The goalkeeper aggravated a chronic injury during Germany's 2-1 win over England at Wembley on Wednesday, Wenger told a news conference.
Wenger said: "Jens is out and he will miss two weeks, I think. Maybe more. I don't know. He is going to see a specialist in Germany tomorrow. He had this injury before but it has got much worse."
Wenger said that Spaniard Manuel Almunia would replace Lehmann on Saturday.
