Team News: Mathieu Debuchy starts for Arsenal in FA Cup semi-final

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger includes Mathieu Debuchy in one of four changes made for the FA Cup semi-final with Reading.

Arsenal defender Mathieu Debuchy has been handed his first start for three months in the FA Cup semi-final with Reading.

Debuchy has been sidelined with a shoulder injury, but his inclusion is one of four changes made by manager Arsene Wenger.

Wojciech Szczesny, Kieran Gibbs and Danny Welbeck all start, with David Ospina, Hector Bellerin, Nacho Monreal and Olivier Giroud making way.
