New keeper loaned as Encks out for 8 weeks

Last updated : 10 February 2009 By Michael Morris
He comes in to replaced Peter Enckelman who has been ruled out for upto 8 weeks after knee surgery.

Enckelman has been in goal for the past 13 unbeaten games and will be a loss to the City squad.

Konstantopoulos comes in to challenge Tom Heaton for the keepers shirt. Heaton will get the nod at the Emirates next Monday as he's the only registered senior keeper we have. Konstantopoulos will challenge him after that for a place in the side for league games.

The new Greek keeper had a successful loan period at Swansea and kept a clean sheet for them against Portsmouth in the last round of the FA Cup. Swansea tried to sign him on transfer deadline day but missed the deadline and, unlike Arsenal with Arshavin, got no sympathy and missed out on his signing.

We wish Enckelman a speedy recovery and wish Dime the best of luck.
