Arsenal boss Unai Emery believes Laurent Koscielny could make his playing comeback this month.
The France defender has been recovering from Achilles surgery.
Emery said, "The most important is how he's feeling every day. He can feel better in each training with us and for him. With calmness, he's nearer, closer to being with us in the competitive games. At the moment, we are happy with him.
"He is feeling well and after [some] months without every training with the team, I think the most important thing is he is every day with us and getting better every day. We are going to think after the international break how we can continue working and how he can start playing games."
