LONDON, Aug 24 (Reuters) Jens Lehmann has injured his Achilles tendon and will miss tomorrow's home clash with English premier league leaders Manchester City, Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said.

The goalkeeper aggravated a chronic injury during Germany's 2-1 win over England at Wembley on Wednesday, Wenger told a news conference yesterday.

Wenger said: ''Jens is out and he will miss two weeks, I think.

Maybe more. I don't know. He is going to see a specialist in Germany tomorrow. He had this injury before but it has got much worse.'' Wenger said that Spaniard Manuel Almunia would replace Lehmann tomorrow.
