Arsenal are set to be without the services of defender Laurent Koscielny for matches against Manchester City and Everton.
According to French outlet Maxifoot, the France international defender will miss the next two weeks due to a torn calf, picked up during Arsenal's 6-0 defeat to Chelsea last weekend.

The news is a blow to Arsenal, who face two matches which could go some way towards deciding if they finish in the Premier League's top four this season.
The Gunners have dropped out of the title race and now sit fourth, just six points above Everton, who have a game in hand and also host Arsene Wenger's men at Goodison Park on 6th April.
