Arsenal's Francis Coquelin out of Leicester game as Arsene Wenger mulls replacement

Arsenal's Coquelin out of Leicester game

Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Francis Coquelin is out of Arsenal's game against Leicester City tomorrow.

Coquelin was replaced at half time during the Gunners' defeat to Chelsea last weekend, and Wenger said that the French midfielder may only return to training tomorrow.

He told reporters: "Coquelin is improving well but he is not available for tomorrow. He might start practice tomorrow. He will have a scan today but it looks quite positive. It's a little bone in the knee."

Wenger said that he will make a late decision on whether or not Mathieu Flamini, who scored both goals in the 2-1 League Cup win against rivals Tottenham Hotspur on Wednesday, will replace Coquelin for their trip to the King Power Stadium.
