Koscielny, Mertesacker, Gervinho

Arsène Wenger has revealed the latest team news ahead of Saturday's FA Cup trip to Sunderland.

on Gervinho…
He is back in the squad. From the other night, we have lost Koscielny. Everyone else is available for selection.
 
on Laurent Koscielny’s knee problem... 
He had a scan yesterday and the news is quite good. He will be out for hopefully around a week. He will miss the Sunderland game. But he should be back for next week.
 
on Per Mertesacker’s ankle problem...
Unfortunately he has had surgery and we have lost him for a while. How long I don’t know. He had reconstruction of his ligaments. So it will be long term.
 
on Kieran Gibbs’ return...
He played his first game in four months in Milan. So of course it was a shock to go back to that level. But physically, he is alright.
 
on Carl Jenkinson...
He is back in full training on Monday. That is good news for us.
