Laurent Koscielny Set to Train With Arsenal Kids as First-Team Returns From Pre-Season Tour

Arsenal captain Laurent Koscielny will be forced to train with the club's youth teams for the foreseeable future as he looks to hold talks over his future in north London.

The 33-year-old refused to travel as part of Arsenal's pre-season tour in the United States following a dispute over a new contract at Emirates Stadium, with offers on the table from clubs in Ligue 1.

Koscielny is now expected to hold talks over what's next for him now that Arsenal have returned to England, but The Mirror reports that the former France international is still being forced to train with the club's youth players for the time being.
