Arsenal's Koscielny fit to face Paris Saint-Germain
Arsenal centre-back Laurent Koscielny has been deemed fit to feature against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.
The Frenchman left the pitch with a badly swollen eye after clashing with Jose Fonte in the Gunners' victory over Southampton - a match in which the defender scored an incredible overhead kick.
"He's a concern," Arsene Wenger said after the match, "The eye is already very swollen and closed up."
The centre-back has recovered, however, meaning the short-staffed Premier League side will not have to count on youngster Rob Holding to deputise in the absence of Per Mertesacker and Gabriel Paulista.
Aaron Ramsey, who trained separately from the rest of the squad on Monday, will not travel with the squad due to slight concerns over a minor hamstring problem. He is likely to feature against Hull on Saturday.
Arsenal meet PSG in Paris on Tuesday, with the clash kicking off at 19:45 UK time.
