According to L'Équipe, the 25-year-old centre-back will make his competitive return this Sunday in Arsenal's reserve team colours. He has not played a match in nearly four months, reports Maxifoot. The same source says he was forced to come off during the 0-2 defeat against Spain in the World Cup semi-final. This match with the young Gunners would be an important step in his recovery process.
