If it is a bad injury there is an obvious benefit to signing a new keeper in that they could play in the League Cup games too.
Let's not pretend Hennessey is a great keeper, he's been close to a career backup. Never played a full season as starter. Had a 4 year spell at Palace where he was playing semi regularly although never topped 30 appearances. Hasn't started regularly since 18/19 season.
Why would we gamble the whole season on this bloke, who's looked ropey when he has played already. Keeper is such an underrated position of importance. If its anymore than a month I'd be looking for a new keeper. Tbh I'd be tempted for the League Cup games anyway, first semi final since 1992.
