Welbeck warns Arsenal fans he must not rush his recovery

Danny Welbeck has warned Arsenal supporters not to expect too much too soon as he rebuilds his match fitness, reports the London Evening Standard.

The 25-year-old has featured in four successive matches and scored twice since returning to first-team action following a 10-month lay-off due to knee surgery.

The England striker said: "I have been out for a long period of time and it is difficult to come back and just keep jumping into game after game, recovering and then going into the next match after a couple of days.

"It is something that I have got to manage. I am probably a bit ahead of schedule since the surgery so I have got to manage it well, recover right and hopefully I will be fine to play a part in the game."
