5 Coquelin replacements Arsenal have in their squad

Arsenal were rocked today with confirmation that Francis Coquelin will be out for at least two months, handing a huge blow to the Gunners, but there’s already replacements within the squad.

Many have identified that Arsenal need to strengthen in this area in January but the fact of the matter is Arsenal have crucial games before the window opens, which means a replacement is needed immediately.

Fortunately, Arsene Wenger’s options are not as limited as those on social media will have you believe and the fact of the matter is Arsenal have a number of players capable of coming into the side to replace Coquelin in his absence.

These aren’t stop-gaps either, as all the players we have highlighted are experienced and extremely capable- so fear not, you can stop all the worrying.

We’re keen to know who you’d play in the midfield in Coquelin’s absence, so make sure you let us know in the comment section!
