Ezri Konsa is set to make his first Arsenal start against Chelsea on Sunday, with Bruno Guimaraes named among the substitutes and Jurrien Timber not involved.
According to Sami Mokbel, Konsa comes in for Cristhian Mosquera, while Chelsea have Levi Colwill on the bench.
The selections point to a reshuffle at the back for Arsenal, with Konsa preferred to Mosquera for this fixture. It would be the defender’s full debut for the club.
Guimaraes being fit enough for the bench indicates he could be used later in the game if required, while Timber’s absence leaves Arsenal without the Dutchman for this meeting.
The report, posted on Sunday, does not give reasons for Timber’s omission or further details beyond the headline calls.
