The latest on Welbeck and Koscielny’s fitness

Danny Welbeck and Laurent Koscielny were a welcome sight on our teamsheet on Saturday after both players shook off injuries. But neither finished the game at Watford.

Danny left the pitch slowly halfway through the second half and Laurent was replaced late on by Rob Holding. Arsene Wenger explained why:

“It looks to be a hamstring with Welbeck,” he said. “I don’t really know because everybody is shocked in the dressing room [about the result]. It looks a muscular problem.

“Koscielny is a muscular problem as well.”
