Unai Emery has confirmed Arsenal are making plans to add extra defensive cover after a string of costly injuries and suspensions to his squad.
Rob Holding will miss the rest of the season, while captain Laurent Koscielny is set to make his first start for Arsenal this season after his own injury concerns.

Emery could also decide to recall Calum Chambers from his loan spell at Fulham.
If we can take one player to help us at centre-back, I think its a good option, Emery said. A transfer is not easy and the possibility with Calum is maybe one option, but I dont know if we can do that.

Arsenal club chiefs have already said transfer funds will be available if the squad needs further additions in January.
Danny Welbecks season ending injury leaves Arsenal a man down in the forward department, meaning there could be two significant signings in January at Arsenal.
Emery is eager to find solutions within his squad and academy, but confirmed he is ready to dip into the market if a suitable deal presents itself.
Arsenal have a difficult month ahead with six games between now and the end of December, including crucial clashes with Tottenham and Liverpool.
