'Welcome back!' - Arsenal fans jubilant as Alexandre Lacazette returns for Sheffield United

After more than a month out with an ankle injury, Alexandre Lacazette is back!

The Arsenal striker has been out of action since picking up his injury in the north London derby against Spurs in early September.

But he has now returned to full training with the team, and could even be in line to play against Sheffield United in the Gunners' trip to Bramall Lane on Monday night.

The Gunners confirmed that the 28-year-old is back in full training, tweeting a video of him heading out to training, where he is welcomed back by boss Unai Emery.

Emery's side are on a fine run of form, going unbeaten since their 3-1 loss to Liverpool back in August, but Lacazette's return opens up more possible tactics for the manager, including the mouthwatering option of a front three including Lacazette, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and new signing Nicolas Pepe.

With the likes of Hector Bellerin and Kieran Tierney also returning from long-running injuries, the Gunners squad is shaping up nicely after the international break.

And the fans were overjoyed to see Lacazette back in training ahead of the game against Sheffield United - even if it does come slightly too soon for his return to first-team action.
