Injury boost :Arsene Wenger reveals Santi Cazorla is back running as he steps up injury recovery

Jack Wilshere is also stepping up his recovery, while Danny Welbeck could feature against Hull in the FA Cup next week

Arsenal's injury woes are finally looking up - with Arsene Wenger revealing long-term absentees Santi Cazorla, Jack Wilshere and Danny Welbeck are all making good progress in their recoveries.



Cazorla and Wilshere are both back running and will return in a matter of 'weeks', whileWelbeck could feature against Hull in the FA Cup next week.

Spaniard Cazorla hasn't featured since injuring his knee ligaments in the 1-1 draw at Norwich on November 29, while Wilshere and Welbeck have been on the sidelines all season.

Ahead of Sunday's game against Leicester, Wenger said: "It is a similar squad available to last week, we are still early in the week but we should have everyone available.

"Of course Rosicky [is out], and Wilshere is not ready. But everyone else should be available.

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

"Cazorla and Wilshere re 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."
