One of the only bits of light relief following our 109th injury of this season to Coquelin was the fact that Koscielny, who was also thought to be injured, should return against Sunderland.

Fortunately, the man is made out of harder stuff than most of our players (which doesn’t take much, admittedly) and will probably make a return against the Black Cats.

The Ox and Rambo also appear to be training hard in a bid to return to full fitness as quickly as possible.

Rambo beard report: Majestic.

In addition, Ozil and Flamini’s close friendship is still well and truly in the honeymoon period. In training ahead of our Premier League clash, the two were pictured looking as if they might elope. Beautiful.
