According to L’Equipe, Laurent Koscielny has been left out of France’s friendly against Holland this evening after feeling tightness in his hamstring during training yesterday.

The French centre-back has since been for a scan and doesn’t appear to have done any lasting damage but he is detailed as a doubt for Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final against Everton.

Thomas Vermaelen was back on the bench for the Gunners at the weekend and should be available to fill in if necessary but with a whole host of Gunners playing friendlies all over the world it’s a nervous wait for Arsene Wenger to see who returns fit.
