Carl Jenkinson is set to return to first team training on Monday and, on Sunday night, the rightback said he felt like a kid on Christmas Eve.

The defender injured his knee badly against Manchester City last season while on loan at West Ham. He’s been gradually stepping up his training regime recently but he’s only now fit enough to join the rest of the Arsenal first team squad.

It’ll be fantastic to have Jenko back in training. Not only is he a ray of bloomin’ sunshine but he gives us another option, especially with Calum Chambers out on loan with Middlebrough.

It’s good to see him almost fully recovered.
