Arsenal deliver Alexandre Lacazette injury update

Arsenal have been handed a huge injury boost with the news that Alexandre Lacazette is stepping up his recovery.

The French striker has been out of action since the international break with an ankle injury.

It's thought that the injury had been a problem since the summer but he decided to play through the pain in the opening weeks of the season.

Lacazette is due to return to action next month and has stepped up his recovery by doing some strength training in the gym at London Colney.

The Gunners are due to take on Manchester United this evening, and the club posted a series of photos on their Twitter account with the good news about his recovery.

The caption for the photos read: "Comeback loading", which is bound to get fans excited.

The positive injury update comes days after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang dropped a hint about Lacazette's recovery.

The Gabon striker posted a video to his Instagram story of the Frenchman doing work in the pool while sharing a joke and splashing water at his strike partner and pulling off some dance moves.

Laazette was the winner of the Arsenal player of the year award last season, and has so far scored two goals in his three appearances this campaign.

The Frenchman has already missed games against Watford, Aston Villa and Eintracht Frankfurt and will be unavailable once again for tonight's trip to Old Trafford.

However with his recovery going well, the hope is that Unai Emery won't be without him for too much longer.
