Before the FA Cup final against Chelsea, the Arsenal manager was in pain as defenders Lauren Koscielny, Gabriel, Shkodran Mustafi were absent.
As is known, midfielder Koscielny was disqualified to play in Arsenal's 3-1 win over Everton in the last round of English Premier League 2016/17. With this fine, the Frenchman was banned from playing three matches, after the English Football Association rejected the appeal of the Gunners.
In addition to Koscielny's suspension, Arsenal lost most of their central defenses due to injury. Gabriel injured his knee in the victory over Everton and had to sit out for eight weeks. In addition, Mustafi and Kieran Gibbs are unlikely to be involved in the match due to the pain.
Arsene Wenger in a recent interview expected Mustafi, who suffered a head injury in a 2-0 win over Sunderland will be able to recover to play in this important match.
In the case of important players not available, Arsenal will have to use a pair of old midfielder (Per Mertersacker) - a young (Rob Holding). However, it is hard to put faith in Mertesacker - the new player recovered from injury and returned in the second half against Everton last weekend.
