Gibbs back in full Arsenal training

Arsenal defender Kieran Gibbs has given the club a boost by returning to full training.

The 22-year old left-back has been sidelined with a string of injuries this season which has restricted him to just five Premier League appearances but he is close to a comeback with Gunners boss Arsene Wenger confirming his return to the training ground.

"He had a normal training session yesterday," Wenger said.

"He is still short [of match fitness to be ready] to play now but it is good news to have him back and I think one or two more weeks' practice will get him back to being available again. That is very positive."
