Arsenal new boss Unai Emery named Laurent Koscielny as club captain.
Long-serving defender who is currently out with an ankle injury will captain the side after Per Mertesacker served as the Gunners’ club captain before his retirement last season.
Gunners Boss have selected Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka – one of whom will take the armband in Koscielny’s absence.
“The captain of this group is Laurent Koscielny, who is injured at the moment,” the head coach told his club’s official website.
“After Laurent, our other captains are Petr Cech, Aaron Ramsey, Mesut Ozil and Granit Xhaka.
“I want leaders in the team, every player at every time to have the capacity to show leadership, but these are the five players who have a possibility to be the captain.”
