Arsenal injury news: Aaron Ramsey and Francis Coquelin return to training but only one is ready for Swansea clash
Welshman had been missing since opening day defeat to Liverpool while Coquelin had knee injury
AARON RAMSEY is closing in on an injury comeback after returning to Arsenal training.
The Welshman has been out with a hamstring injury since the opening day defeat to Liverpool.
Ramsey was only expected to miss a month with the problem but has taken much longer to recover than expected.
The 25-year-old is now training alongside teammates ahead of Saturday’s clash against Swansea.
But Ramsey is unlikely to feature in Bob Bradley’s first Premier League clash after Francis Coquelin also returned to the fore.
The Frenchman has missed Arsenal’s last two games after injuring his knee in last month’s win over Chelsea.
But Coquelin could find himself thrust back into the starting XI at the Emirates at the expense of either Santi Cazorla or Granit Xhaka.
Whether Arsene Wenger calls upon the defensive midfielder remains to be seen, but Ramsey will certainly face a battle for his spot in the side when he’s finally match-fit.
The ex-Cardiff man showed he was capable of also playing on the right last season, but Theo Walcott’s sudden burst of form means competition is fiercer than ever.
