Arsenal manager Unai Emery has provided an injury update on four players as he ruled out Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Shkodran Mustafi while revealing that Laurent Koscielny and Sead Kolasinac are fit to play in the clash against Burnley on Saturday 22nd December.
Koscielny is returning from a long-term injury after rupturing his Achilles in the UEFA Europa League semifinals against Atletico Madrid and featured in the 2-0 loss to arch-rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the Carabao Cup.
Kolasinac took part in the Friday training session after recovering from a thigh injury and is in contention for a starting place against Burnley.
Speaking in a press conference ahead of the Burnley tie, Emery gave an injury update on the quartet, “Mkhitaryan is out. Koscielny is okay but he played two matches this week and tomorrow will be a lot for him. We also need to be calm with him, to take time for a lot of matches before he continues playing.
” Sead Kolasinac, I think for tomorrow is okay. Players are continuing to recover with Sead. Mustafi is also, for tomorrow, out too.”
