Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck could be set for a return to action when his side faces off against Tottenham for Saturday's North London derby.

26-year-old Welback has not played since limping off during the Gunners 2-1 defeat against Watford on October 14, and this injury also ruled him out of the England national team for the friendlies against Germany and Brazil.

Wellback is however reported to have been progressing well and could be in line to play for his club against Tottenham should Arsene Wenger opt to utilise him.

Wellback had started six out of eight Arsenal games before he suffered his setback at Vicarage Road.

Meanwhile, Olivier Giroud will be assessed after suffering an injury during France's 2-0 win against Wales on Friday night.
