Arsenal have been handed some positive injury news as Laurent Koscielny has returned to training just three months after having surgery on his Achilles tendon.
The defender suffered the injury back in May during the Europa League Semi Final second leg clash with Atletico Madrid and had to miss representing France at the World Cup.
Whilst the 32-year-old is not back in full training yet, he is back running, which is a major positive after the nature of the injury he suffered.
Arsenal boss Unai Emery was quick to heap praise on the Arsenal captain, but he was also keen to explain that although Koscielny was back running, the club will not be rushing him.
He said:
He’s working very hard. First, he was in France. He came back to us last Sunday.We are happy to have him here with us because he’s our captain and he’s showing us his spirit to stay with us. We need to be patient with him because the injury was an important injury. It’s clear that it’s very important to stay with us, working here and showing us that he wants to help us. It’s difficult to know (when he will be back). You look at this morning, he’s running, he’s working on the pitch. The progress is very good progress.
