"He's doing rehab at the moment,” said Wenger. “He's back here on December 17 and then hopefully we can start to work with him. But it's a long-term prospect - maybe March at the earliest.”
However, as revealed by Arsenal.com on Saturday, there is much better news about the other long-term absentee - Eduardo.
"He will play on December 16 in the reserve team,” said Wenger.
That game against Portsmouth will be shown live on Arsenal TV and streamed live on Arsenal TV Online.
