Gunners have serious problems with the defense on the eve of the final fight of the national cup against Chelsea.

In the match of the final 38th round of the Premier League between Arsenal and Everton (3: 1), the injury was defender Gunners Gabriel Paulista. Damage to the player was quite serious - according to doctors, he will not be able to return to the field within the next eight weeks, because he certainly will not play in the final match of the FA Cup against Chelsea.

The fight against the Irisok left the Gunners and without the leader of the defense - Laurent Koselni, who managed to get a straight red card for a rough foul, and now will not be able to take part in the decisive confrontation of the national cup.

In addition, Shkodran Mustafi may miss the match, which, according to Arsene Wenger, still heals damage.

Thus, in the defense of the Gunners there were very serious problems. Of course, talk about an equivalent replacement of the three above-mentioned performers is not necessary, but the situation is that Arsenu Wenger will have to think carefully over the starting lineup.

It is obvious that the German bek Per Mertesacker will appear on the field, but who will be his company in the central zone is still unknown. Perhaps it will be a young Rob Holding, or the French mentor will force him to descend from the support zone in defense of Francis Coquelin.

Duel between Arsenal and Chelsea will be held on May 27.
