Ahead of the Community Shield, there has been confusion over two defenders: Laurent Koscielny and Victor Moses. The 2016-17 season ended on a sour note for for Koscielny.

That meant he missed the FA Cup final win over Chelsea, while he was served with a three game ban. As for Chelsea, Victor Moses was sent off in the FA Cup final versus Arsenal for diving. He picked up a one-match ban. Both clubs hit with bans On Tuesday, the Evening Standard revealed that Koscielny is free to play against Chelsea, while he’ll miss Arsenal’s opening Premier League matches against Leicester and Stoke.
