Petr Cech out for a month with hamstring injury

Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech will be out for about a month due to a hamstring injury.

The Czech international had to be replaced in injury-time at the end of the first half of the game against Watford as he seemed to pull his hamstring when taking a goal-kick.

He was replaced by summer signing Bernd Leno, and it looks like the German will now get an extended run in the side as Cech is set to be sidelined for at least a four weeks.

A lot of observers were surprised when manager Unai Emery decided to stick with Cech as his number one, even though he’d spent a significant amount on Leno, but that was the decision he made.

However, Leno will now get the chance to prove that he should be Arsenal’s first-choice ‘keeper going forward.
