Kieran Gibbs has returned to training at Arsenal.

The Arsenal left back has been out of action since October with a groin problem, a period which has coincided with a crippling injury list for boss Arsene Wenger, which at one point left him without a recognised full back.

Wednesday's clash against Bolton will come too soon for Gibbs, 22, but he hopes to make the trip to Sunderland on Saturday week.

Wenger said: "It is very positive. One or two more weeks' practice will get him back to being available again."
