Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the club will deal with goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny internally after he was caught on camera making a rude gesture to the fourth officials on Wednesday night.

The Polish international was clearly annoyed at being sent off against Bayern Munich at the Emirates Stadium in the Champions League last-16, and after making his way to the tunnel, Szczesny was caught making a rude gesture as the video went viral.

It has been reported that UEFA won’t be taking any action on the goalkeeper due to the referee not including it in his report, but Wenger has confirmed today that he will be dealt with internally.

“We will deal with that internally,” he said. “We don’t agree with that.

“Yes, it (the gesture) was frustration, but we are professionals, me included, and we have always to master reactions. Wojciech is part of that as well.”
