Arsenal fans are getting excited about Alexandre Lacazette's return ahead of Man United clash

The return of Alexandre Lacazette has got Arsenal's supporters very excited.

The striker has been out of action since the start of September with an ankle injury that he picked up earlier in the season.

While the expectation was for the striker to be out until October at the earliest, the club have posted an update on his recovery which shows the Frenchman working hard in the gym at London Colney.

Lacazette will miss this evening's clash with Manchester United as he steps up his recovery, but this hasn't stopped some supporters developing a theory about his recovery.

The clash at Old Trafford is a huge match for both sides with the two teams likely to be competing for a place in the top four come the end of the season, and a wily group of supporters have suggested that the striker could be a surprise addition to Unai Emery's teamsheet this evening.

It's worth emphasising that this is very, very unlikely.

But that won't stop the supporters as they reaction to a very positive injury update from the club regarding their star striker.

Here's what some of the Arsenal fans had to say on social media.
