Lucas Torreira has taken to social media after it was confirmed by Arsenal that the midfielder was back running on grass.
The Uruguay international suffered an ankle injury back in March and was forced off with a fractured ankle just 16 minutes into the Gunners' 2-0 FA Cup triumph over Portsmouth at Fratton Park.
Following the game, Arsenal confirmed the extent of the injury Torreira had sustained, insisting that he would be sidelined for anywhere between eight to 10 weeks.
However, the suspension of the season because of the COVID-19 crisis, of course, came at the perfect time for the central midfielder, who has netted two goals in all competitions for the Gunners this term, as it has allowed him to get back to full strength without missing too much action - just one match.
Arsenal issued an encouraging update on the state of Torreira's recovery, releasing a video of the midfielder back on the grass and running.
A tweet from the Gunners on Tuesday morning, which showed a video of Torreria, read: "Things we love to see. @LTorreira's back out running again."
On Wednesday, Torreira posted a video of his own on Twitter, which featured a compilation of his season so far.
This announcement this week from the Government, which confirmed that no professional sporting events can take place before June 1, could prove to be further good news for Torreira, as it suggests that the Premier League could be granted permission to resume at some point next month, though no official decision on when competitive football could resume in England has yet been made.
This season, Torreira has racked up 33 appearances in all competitions for the Gunners, scoring two goals in the process.
