Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is reviving his interest in Southampton midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin.
The Mirror says Wenger admits he does not know when Koscielny will return after his Achilles injury and now says he has only a "little chance" to be fit after the international break.
It has exposed Arsenal's squad and there is also a chance that they will move for a defensive midfielder.
Paris Saint Germain midfielder Adrien Rabiot, 19, was a long term target but is now staying put after signing a new deal which will push Arsenal to look again at Southampton's Schneiderlin.
