Laurent Koscielny:
Alongside Giroud, Koscielny was one of the key players too for France in this Euro 2016 campaign. And the Arsenal boss has granted him an extended break too. Koscielny is the heart of Arsene Wenger’s defense-line, but with him missing the pre-season matches, it will be all upto Per Mertesacker, Gabriel and Calum Chambers. Koscielny’s appearance in the Premier League opening game against Liverpool is also a doubt.
