Seaman out for six weeks

Seaman will be out of action for a further six weeks

Arsenal goalkeeper David Seaman will be out of action until the New Year after undergoing surgery on a shoulder injury.

"Seaman had surgery on Tuesday after seeing a specialist. He will be out for six weeks," confirmed manager Arsene Wenger.

Seaman's lay-off leaves Arsenal with a major goalkeeping crisis.

Second choice Richard Wright, also Seaman's England understudy, will be out for at least a further 10 days with a knee injury.

That leaves 20-year-old novice Stuart Taylor as the only senior squad goalkeeper left to face Juventus in the Champions League next Tuesday.
