Gibbs close to Arsenal return

Kieran Gibbs is not too far away from returning to the Arsenal line-up according to manager Arsene Wenger.

The 22-year old left-back has been sidelined with a hernia since October 16 and although Sunday's meeting with Manchester City is too soon, he is expected back in the next week or so.

"He is I think one week maximum away. He could be present at Aston Villa (On Wednesday) or the game after (against Wolves)," said Wenger. "Of course, you want him back and to play."
