Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny could reportedly return for his side's trip to Watford in the Premier League on Saturday.

The 32-year-old missed both of France's final World Cup qualifiers with an Achilles injury but it is hoped that he will be fit for Saturday afternoon's clash with the Hornets, according to The Telegraph.

The Gunners were facing a potential defensive injury crisis, with German international Shkodran Mustafi picking up a thigh injury while on international duty and Calum Chambers carrying a hip problem.

Arsenal fans will be hoping that Koscielny's presence can keep their impressive recent form going as they look to extend their winning run to five matches.

Wing-back Sead Kolasinac, who was forced off at half time for Bosnia on Tuesday night, will also be fit for the visit to Vicarage Road.
