Welbeck in action for the gunners

Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck is almost ready for first team football. According to arsenal manager Wenger he will be ready once he futures at least two times for the under 21s.  

 “He is playing today with the under-21s, for one half at least. I believe that he needs to play two or three games before thinking about coming back into the first team. We can organize games internally without being official games and I think in the next three weeks he should be available. He has not played for 10 months so we need to be patient with him. He has good basic fitness but after it is competitive decision-making and he needs to get used to that again. We are a bit relieved because with such an injury, you never know how a player will come back. But he looks promising in training.”
