The Frenchman Is Back, Ahoy!

After 3 long months on the sidelines nursing a crocked fibula, Samir Nasri is finally back to full fitness. Not only that, Lukasz Fabianski, too is now ready for first team action after he suffered a knock on the knee few months back. There can’t be a better birthday gift for Arsene than a fully fit Arsenal stable to pick and choose from.

We@11Gunners celebrate their return..

22 yeal old Nasri featured for Arsenal Reserves on tuesday night against Wolves and was on the pitch for about an hour. He looked fit as a fiddle and back to his neaty best picking out passes left, right and centre. He was instrumental in setting up Gilles Sunu for the opener. This is what the Frenchman had to say post his return to the thick of things:

“I feel good, I was a little bit tired at the end of the first half but I am so happy to be back on the pitch. It has been three months I was injured so I am really glad to be back.”

“It has been difficult but I was always looking forward for a speedy recovery. I knew it would be hard but everyone was behind me and helping me so I am OK.”

“I don’t know if I am ready yet for the first team. I need to play because nothing can replace the games. So I work well with [fitness coach] Tony Colbert and now after one or two games I will be ready to come back to the first team.”

“It was the first serious injury I have had. Two years ago in Marseilles I twisted my ankle but it was not bad like this one. I was sick also, I had meningitis, so that was bad, but this is the first time I have broken a bone in my body. But I am really happy, I had a quick recovery and everything is fine now.”

Next he shed his attention towards Arsenal’s start to the season and his expectations in the months to come:

“I think we have made a really, really good start in the [League} and in the Champions League," said Nasri. "I think we need to keep this spirit and this focus because we have a big, big quality in defence, in midfield and up front. The team is strong and we need to keep this level going."

"I think we are stronger this year because now we are more mature, we are one year older and the team hasn’t changed a lot so we know each other and that is really good for the season."

The Polish Dapper Is Back As Well!

The return of both Nasri and Fabianski means Arsenal now have even more depth in the attacking third and between the posts. Something the rest of the Premeir League should now be wary of given the mood and bonhomie in the dressing room @ The Emirates.

Watch out, the Gunners are on a prowl..
