Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has called on his teammates to pick themselves up quickly following Tuesday's defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.

The Gunners started their Group D campaign with a loss last night as Dortmund earned a 2-0 victory in Germany.

Szczesny now hopes that Arsenal can make a swift recovery and get their European hopes back on track.

"We've got six games to play. We lost the first one, which was an important one, but we've got to pick ourselves up and get some momentum over the next couple of games at home, and hopefully put ourselves in the mix," he told the club's official website.

Arsenal continue their Premier League campaign on Saturday with a trip to Aston Villa.
