Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that defender Gabriel Paulista will miss this weekend's FA Cup Final against Chelsea.
The Brazilian joins Laurent Koscielny who is suspended on the sidelines with Shkodran Mustafi expected to carry out a late fitness test before the game.
The Frenchman revealed that he is yet to decide the starting line-up and the formation to adopt against the Blues.
"It just shows you how unpredictable football can be because we played at home, your mind is on attacking, and on the day we lost two centre backs," the manager said.
"It's absolutely unbelievable and unpredictable, and we have been hit hard in a position where we will need to be strong on Saturday.
"We'll have to find solutions and hopefully I will find the good solutions.
"I have to decide until Saturday [whether to keep a back three or not] - we'll test that in training until then."
