🚨 Two up front for Arsenal as Koscielny returns to the squad

Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny is on the bench for the club’s Premier League game against Huddersfield on Saturday.

The centre-back has not featured since rupturing his Achilles in May but has recently played twice for the club’s U-23 team.

Both Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette start for the Gunners as Unai Emery has opted for a 5-3-2 formation.

Lacazette had sat out Arsenal’s last two games, coming on as a substitute to score against both Tottenham and Manchester United. He replaces Alex Iwobi from the side that drew at Old Trafford.

Stephan Lichtsteiner comes into the three-man defence in place of the injured Rob Holding.

Also back on the bench with Koscielny is Nacho Monreal. The defender has not played for two months.

Huddersfield boss David Wagner has made three changes from the midweek defeat to Bournemouth.
