Arsenal have received a huge injury boost after it was confirmed that defender Laurent Koscielny did not aggravate his Achilles injury during the Chekatrade Trophy match against Portsmouth, according to a report on Sky Sports.
The Frenchman limped off towards the end of the match and there were concerns that he could be out of action once again.

He is not fit enough for tonight’s clash with Manchester United at Old Trafford, but could make his eagerly anticipated return for the Gunners at the Emirates on the weekend, which would mark his first appearance under new manager Unai Emery.
