Arsene Wenger confirms Petr Cech and David Ospina will miss Arsenal clash against Crystal Palace

Arsenal will be without David Ospina and Petr Cech for their clash with Crystal Palace on Monday.

The two goalkeepers both missed Wednesday's win over West Ham due to injury and  have not recovered in time for the trip to Selhurst Park.

"I think from Wednesday's game, nobody should be out," said Arsene Wenger.

"[Francis] Coquelin is back available after his family problem. He's back in contention again. 

"I don't believe that Cech will be available for Monday night, nor Ospina. These are the two players who will still be out."

The injuries mean Arsenal will have to call upon third-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez once again after the Argentine kept a clean sheet against West Ham in midweek.

"He looked composed, quiet, calm [on Wednesday]," said Wenger.

"I know personally that he has the quality because I see him every day. I was not surprised by the quality of his game."
