UPDATE: RMC Radio in France have confirmed that Koscielny's injury was just a knock, he is now fine and expected to start for France against Japan.
In a typical development for an international break, the news has broken recently that Laurent Koscielny suffered a knee injury while training with the French national team in a collision with Franck Ribery.
The centre-back was helped off the pitch by two people, and to present journalist Julian Laurens the injury 'looked serious'.
Not clear
Despite a number of reports with conflicting information, including one that stated Koscielny was out for three months, it's unknown how serious Koscielny's injury is. All we know is it's a right knee injury that he sustained in a collision. It's standard procedure to remove injured players from the field of play and he wasn't taken to hospital as some reports suggested.

Captain Thomas Vermaelen has been speaking to the press today while on international duty with Belgium, and he was full of praise for his Arsenal teammates, and two in particular.
Jack's back (and he's been busy)
Speaking to Arsenal.com, Vermaelen had a lot to say about returning midfielder Jack Wilshere:
“When I was out with injury, I was in the gym a lot, Jack was in the gym even longer working hard on his weaknesses."

Following Saturday's victory over London rivals West Ham United, the Arsenal players have had their fare share of knocks.
A physical encounter vs a team who have committed the most fouls this season, will always leave bumps and bruises.
However, I believe we have no major concerns following the game.
Gibbs out of England squad
Kieran Gibbs was replaced by Andre Santos 56 minutes in and Wenger was swiftly quizzed about the matter.
"He has a thigh problem just above his knee; I think he will be very doubtful for England."

After a frustrating defeat at home to Chelsea last weekend, Arsenal managed to pick themselves up and beat Olympiakos 3-1 to sit top of Group B in the Champions League.
Now, they look ahead to Saturday’s fixture, where they travel to Upton Park in an attempt to get an important 3 points that would help them massively in the race for the title.
However, the newly promoted Hammers certainly won’t be a pushover after impressing in their first season back in the top flight. Sitting 7th in the table with 11 points, West Ham are unbeaten in their last 4 games in the league.
Having said that, if they are to get something from the game they will certainly have to improve their recent form against the Gunners with Arsenal unbeaten in their last 9 encounters.

Olympiakos travel to the Emirates on Wednesday looking to defeat an Arsenal side eager to bounce back from a demoralising loss against Chelsea at the weekend.
Head to Head
The two teams have been drawn in the same group stage twice before, and it has resulted in Arsenal winning all their home ties and losing all their away ties.
This is a new look Arsenal team though to the one in the previous ties so history will count for nothing come Wednesday.
