ARSENAL WILL BE without goalkeeper Petr Cech and centre-back Laurent Koscielny for Saturday’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur, manager Arsene Wenger revealed after yesterday’s 2-1 loss to Swansea City.
“Cech got a muscular problem at the end of the game,” Wenger said. “He will not play on Saturday. I have full faith in (reserve goalkeeper David) Ospina.”
On Koscielny, he added: “He has a calf problem as well. He will not play on Saturday.”
The double injury blow will have blackened Wenger’s mood yet further after a result that left Arsenal six points below Premier League leaders Leicester City in third place.
It was Arsenal’s third defeat in a row, after previous losses at the hands of Barcelona and Manchester United, and saw them booed off by their own fans at the Emirates Stadium.
