Arsenal will reportedly go into their next league encounter with Stoke City with their recognised central defensive partnership of Laurent Koscielny and Per Mertesacker.

  • Arsenal to confirm second summer signing tomorrow
  • Chelsea have just signed Brazilian star for £60m

  • Gunners boss Arsene Wenger had been forced to play a make-shift defence of Callum Chambers and Gabriel Paulista in their no-score draw at home against Liverpool.

    Despite of suffering from a back problem, France international Laurent Koscielny did make a return in the club's 1-0 win at Newcastle United before the international break.

    The Telegraph now understands that the Gunners first-choice pairing will return for the club's next league fixture against Stoke City on Saturday.

    Arsenal are currently fifth in the league standings with seven points.
