Team news: Arsenal boss confirms double injury boost + Suarez could face Man City
Unai Emery has provided a full team news and injury update ahead of Arsenal’s Premier League trip to Man City this weekend.
The boss confirmed that Hector Bellerin had a successful operation this week to repair his ruptured cruciate knee ligament and obviously the right-back won’t play again this season. Emery is expecting Bellerin to be out for between six to eight months which means he’s facing a battle to be fit for the start of next season.
However, there is better news regarding the fitness of Laurent Koscielny. It was feared the centre-back had broken his jaw against Man Utd last week but thankfully it was soon confirmed he’d only suffered bruising.
Koscielny still had to have a small operation to remove a blood clot but he returned to full training today and should be back in contention to face Man City on Sunday...
