Arsene Wenger is facing a defensive crisis going into the FA Cup final after revealing Shkodran Mustafi hasn’t trained since suffering a head injury.
With Laurent Koscielny suspended and Gabriel out for up to eight weeks with knee-ligament damage, Wenger has a shortage of centre backs ahead of the Wembley showpiece.
Their only available centre halves are Rob Holding and Per Mertesacker, who has played 37 minutes of first-team football this season.
Mustafi, who was at the club’s London Colney HQ yesterday, suffered the injury in the 2-0 win over Sunderland on May 16 and hasn’t trained since.
