Laurent Koscielny has no problem playing full-back

Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has claimed that he has no problem playing full-back during the North London club's injury crisis.

Arsene Wenger's side have been left without a recognised full-back because of injuries to Andre Santos, Kieran Gibbs, Bacary Sagna and Carl Jenkinson.

"Obviously, it is not my favourite position but I am happy to help the team and do my best there," said Koscielny.

"It's a position I knew as I started as a professional in France at left full-back. At the time, I was playing with Guingamp in the second division and I was very young," he added.

Koscielny will be forced to play full-back again on Wednesday night as Arsenal face a Premier League away trip to Aston Villa.
