Szczesny to miss Arsenal's trip to Montpellier

Arsenal will be without number one goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny for their Champions League opener against Montpellier.

The Gunners travel to take on the French champions tomorrow night in Group B but Szczesny will not make the trip as he has an ankle injury.

The Poland international returned in the 6-1 Premier League win over Southampton on Saturday after a two-match absence with a rib problem but is now sidelined again with Vito Mannone set to take over.
