Arsenal ‘s annual injury crisis has struck even earlier than usual this year.
The Gunners have been rocked by an injury to Per Mertesacker , which is expected to keep the German defender out of action for a number of months .
With Laurent Koscielny enjoying an extended break after Euro 2016 and Gabriel Paulista not on the tour of the USA due to illness, Arsene Wenger must do without any senior centre-backs for the next couple of weeks.
That means Calum Chambers will likely partner new signing Rob Holding in the game against MLS All-Stars on Friday... a pairing that most would consider too inexperienced when the Premier League starts in a fortnight.
Wenger has admitted he could dip into the transfer market for a new defender to cover for Mertesacker in the months ahead. But who could he turn to?
