Arsenal boost! Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere to return ‘in a matter of weeks’, claims Arsene Wenger

Arsenal midfielders Jack Wilshere and Santi Cazorla will return "in a matter of weeks", according to Arsene Wenger.

Wilshere has yet to feature for the Gunners this season after undergoing ankle surgery, while Cazorla has been sidelined for three months with a knee problem.

But Wenger has revealed both players are back running and could be back in action soon, while he also gave an update on when the fit-again Danny Welbeck will be reintegrated into the squad.

"Welbeck is doing well, it is a bit early for him maybe but he is now back to full power in training," Wenger told Arsenal Player.

"It is a big possibility [he could be involved against Hull next week]. We gave him one or two days recovery after the under-21 game, but now he is back in full training. He has worked very hard and he is fit.

"They [Wilshere and Cazorla] are back running, they are on a fitness programme now so it means it is not a question of months anymore, it is a question of weeks for them to be back."
