Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny pulls out injured at the Stadium of Light and is replaced by Carl Jenkinson in the starting lineup for this afternoon's match against Sunderland.

Arsenal have suffered an injury blow in the warm-up for this afternoon's Premier League clash against Sunderland.

Laurent Koscielny has suffered a calf injury and has been forced out of the starting XI, with Carl Jenkinson coming in as a late replacement.

The French defender was a doubt before the match after suffering a knock on international duty in midweek but had passed a fitness test earlier today.

Jenkinson will now play alongside Per Mertesacker, Nacho Monreal and Bacary Sagna in a defensive reshuffle for Arsene Wenger's side.
