​Arsenal boosted as injured Oxlade-Chamberlain poised for training return

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is set to return to Arsenal first-team training on Monday having recovered from the knee injury that ruled him out of Euro 2016, reports the London Evening Standard.

The 22-year-old has been unavailable since February's Champions League round of 16, first leg tie with Barcelona then suffered a further setback in training just before the end of the season.

Having missed out on England's disappointing campaign in France Oxlade-Chamberlain faces a potentially decisive season, his sixth at Arsenal, where he must deliver on the potential that convinced Arsene Wenger to part with £15million for a 17-year-old in 2011.
