Alexis could miss Arsenal's FA Cup final, Mustafi returns

Alexis Sanchez could be set to miss Arsenal's FA Cup final with Chelsea on Saturday, according to the Express.

The Chilean star is said to be receiving treatment on a hamstring problem that forced him to withdraw from the end of Arsenal's victory over Everton on Sunday.

Centre-back duo Laurent Koscienly (suspension) and Gabrial Paulista (knee) were both ruled out following the Everton clash, which left Arsene Wenger with a depleted defensive corps.

However, Wenger has been handed a reprieve with defenders Shkodran Mustafi, Per Mertesacker and Kieran Gibbs all expected to be available for the final.

German international Mustafi returns from illness after missing Sunday's match, and Gibbs has recovered from a thigh injury.
