Shkodran Mustafi expected to face Chelsea in FA Cup Final after missing Everton win through illness

Arsenal defender Shkodran Mustafi is not rated as a serious doubt to face Chelsea this weekend.

The Germany international was not named in Arsene Wenger's squad for the 3-1 victory over Everton on Sunday.

One report suggested the defender had suffered concussion but the club insist Mustafi missed game through illness and is expected to recover in time.

It was the first in a string of defensive blows to hit Arsenal on the final day of the Premier League season.

Laurent Koscielny was sent off inside 20 minutes for a lunging challenge on Enner Valencia, and will miss Saturday's FA Cup Final through suspension.

Gabriel was then stretchered off and it looks likely he will also be unable to feature in the Wembley showpiece.

"Gabriel’s injury looks quite serious, especially for next Saturday," said Wenger after the game.

"We lost two centre-backs and that is a big blow.

"It looked spectacular [Koscielny’s sending off] but when you watch it again it looks harsh. What could we do?"
