French international Laurent Koscielny is named in the Arsenal squad for this weekend's match against Liverpool, according to manager Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Laurent Koscielny is back in contention for a return to action this weekend.

Koscielny has yet to play for Arsenal this season after picking up a problem in a pre-season friendly against Cologne, but is the back in the squad to play Liverpool on Sunday.

Wenger also revealed that goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will have a fitness check this week after missing the draw with Stoke City with a rib injury.

He said: "Koscielny will be back in the squad definitely.

"Szczesny has a test tomorrow and Saturday. Everybody else should be alright."

Arsenal head to Anfield looking for their first win of the season after opening their campaign with two successive 0-0 draws.
