Danny Welbeck making Arsenal comeback today

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck is set to see action today.

The Daily Star says the England striker plays for the Gunners' Under-21s against Brighton's youngster, with kick-off at 1pm.

Welbeck has been out of action for over nine months, with a knee injury.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger stated: “I believe that he needs to play two or three games before thinking about coming back into the first team.

“We need to be patient with him. He has good basic fitness but after it is competitive decision making and he needs to get used to that again.

“We can organise games internally without being official games and I think in the next three weeks he should be available."
