Manchester United have been handed a huge injury boost with the news that Paul Pogba is closing in on a return to action.
The midfielder has missed the last three fixtures - including the 2-0 defeat to West Ham United - with an ankle injury.
Pogba's absence has been a massive blow for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side who have struggled to compete in his absence, but according to the Norwegian, it seems that that problem will be short-lived.
Soksjaer told the United official app: "He’ll probably get some minutes against Rochdale. But we definitely think he’s ready for Arsenal.”
The news of Pogba's imminent return will be a huge blow to Arsenal.
The Gunners have been far from convincing in recent weeks with a number of defensive errors proving costly.
Unai Emery's side let a two-goal lead slip against Watford at Vicarage Road, before another poor performance allowed Aston Villa to take the lead twice during the weekend's game at the Emirates.
Thankfully the Gunners had Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to get the team out of jail on that occasion.
However the upcoming fixture against Manchester United could be a huge challenge for the Gunners, with both sides likely to be fiercely scrapping to take all three points.
