Emery on Mavropanos, Koscielny and Sokratis

Our Emirates FA Cup defeat to Manchester United was damaging in more ways than one as both Sokratis and Laurent Koscielny sustained injuries.

Both are expected to miss Tuesday's clash with Cardiff City, so could this be an opportunity to Dinos Mavropanos to stake his claim?

"[Koscielny and Sokratis] are not OK for tomorrow," Unai Emery told the media on Monday. "But it is good news for example for Laurent Koscielny because he didn't break his jaw.

"Sokratis doesn't have a big injury but he isn't OK [to face Cardiff], I don't know how long but I think maybe two or three weeks.
