Laurent Koscielny ‘to return to training following injury scare’

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny is reportedly expected to return to training in the next 48 hours after suffering an injury scare at the weekend.

The France international was substituted 11 minutes into the Gunners’ 1-1 draw with Norwich City last Sunday.

However, according to the London Evening Standard, the injury is not serious and Koscielny should return to training in the next two days ahead of Saturday’s match against Sunderland at the Emirates.

Santi Cazorla and Alexis Sanchez were also injured in the game, but reports have claimed that they will both miss this weekend’s action, as well as next Wednesday’s must-win Champions League match against Olympiacos.
