The 26-year-old will play in the defensive position once again against Crystal Palace , after surprising fans in the role against Sporting in the Europa League on Thursday. Both Monreal and Kolasinac are struggling with minor hamstring problems and failed late fitness tests ahead of the clash at Selhurst Park. "At the moment it is only because we have two players injured: Nacho Monreal and Sead Kolasinac," said Emery ahead of the game against Crystal Palace.

"But his position after the two players have recovered is in midfield."
