He may not be at the club right now but even Wojciech Szczesny cannot escape the Arsenal injury curse as he picked up a dislocated finger against Barcelona on Wednesday night.
Or didn’t pick it up, I don’t know, how hard is it to pick things up with a dislocated finger?
Dislocated finger the initial diagnosis for @OfficialASRoma goalkeeper Szczęsny. #UCL @ChampionsLeague.

The injury was sustained to his left hand as you can see from this photo:

The Pole enjoyed an eventful night in the Champions League game as he also got this cheeky little slap in on Luis Suarez.

This was not what caused the injury (it’s the wrong hand). The injury came when the same player left his foot in on a challenge as the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
Roma have stated he will undergo tests on Thursday but as you can see from the UEFA tweet at the top the initial diagnosis is a dislocated finger.
