Victor Moses will be back at training with Stoke City this week after returning to the club from Chelsea.
The Nigerian winger, who is on a season-long loan from the Blues, has bene back in west London receiving treatment on a thigh injury which has sidelined him since November 22.
The Potters return from a two-day break on Wednesday morning and assistant Mark Bowen is expecting Moses to be amongst the squad that is preparing for Sunday's trip to Arsenal.
"He's ready to start training now, so we expect him to be in the training ground," Bowen told BBC Radio Stoke.
"We will have to assess how far down the line he is as to whether he's on the bench or starting games.
"We have come through a brutal period of games and done very well.
"But we have missed Victor and Peter Odemwingie (knee), two key attacking players."
