Arsenal striker Giroud: I set myself target to get back early

Olivier Giroud is delighted to be back in action for Arsenal.

He is back in the fold almost two months earlier than expected.

And Giroud said: "I worked hard to come back especially for the Manchester United game last week.

"It was always my target, since the beginning of the injury. I didn't tell anyone.

"Maybe I should have said something. But anyway, I am really pleased to come back earlier.

"When you are injured you cannot help your team-mates and it has been really frustrating for me.

"I want to win more and we can do it. We can do big things with this team. I think we have a good understanding, particularly with the new players."
