Loanees Barazite and Gilbert pick up injuries; Szczesny beaten twice as Poland draw

Arsenal loanees Nacer Barazite and Kerrea Gilbert both picked up injuries last night. Gilbert only has a minor problem after he was replaced by Patrick Kisnorbo 66 minutes into Leicester’s 2-2 draw with Walsall. The signs are far worse for Barazite, he has suspected knee ligament damage and will have a scan tomorrow to determine the full extent of the injury.

In international news, goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny was in action again today as Poland U19s drew 2-2 with Bosnia and Herzegovina U19s in their second qualifier. The Poles beat Montenegro 2-1 in their opening qualifier but found themselves a goal down at the break after Haris Handzić’s strike. Handzić grabbed another after the interval to make it 2-0 but Poland fought back to salvage a point after goals from Alan Stulin and Tomasz Hołota. Greece beat Montenegro 1-0 in the other game in Group 10 and are next up for Poland on Saturday. Poland and Bosnia both currently have four points, Greece have three and Montenegro have zero.
