Chambers returns to full training

Arsenal defender Calum Chambers has made a return to full training with the squad, according to the Evening Standard.

The young defender has been sidelined recently, but appears to be making good progress in his recovery, and could be available for Arsenal’s game against Red Star Belgrade next Thursday.

Chambers has been out of action with a hip injury, which has kept him out for roughly one month.

The 22-year-old recently put pen to paper on a new deal at the club. The news came as a surprise to many given his lack of involvement since the move from Southampton in 2014.

However, following a positive spell on loan with Middlesbrough last season, the club evidently feel Chambers has something to offer yet.

The versatile defender, who can play at right-back or in the middle, will be a welcome return for Arsene Wenger, who has seen his defensive unit seriously struggle with injuries.
