Arsene Wenger’s six injuries
But Arsenal have selection problems ahead of their trip to Watford.

On Sunday night, Shkodran Mustafi became the latest high profile injury at the Emirates Stadium.

Mustafi was forced out of Germany’s match Azerbaijan with a thigh strain, and he seems unlikely to play against Watford.




Staying with Arsenal’s defence, Laurent Koscielny is also a major doubt this weekend. The centre-half had to withdraw from France’s international squad due to his ongoing Achilles problems.
