Arsenal left-back Kieran Gibbs could return to the squad on the weekend after about a month on the sidelines.
The 21-year old England international injured his ankle in the December 8 Champions League clash with Partizan Belgrade and has been forced to sit out ever since.
But Gunners boss Arsene Wenger suggests that Gibbs could be back in action in the FA Cup third round tie with Leeds United on the weekend.
"Kieran Gibbs is very close," Wenger told Arsenal TV.
"He could be in full training again on Tuesday and there is a little chance he is available for Saturday."
